Mechanical Breath – The Agony Scene

Removed from stasis to oblivion
Corrupted body becomes unsustainable
Regressive in its fragile consciousness
Succumb to sleep
Cold and indifferent

The body left behind
Soul atomized
Damn the conscious mind
And its unwillingness

Begin the realization of impermanence
And every labored breath, mechanical
The body ravaged and cancerous
To know you’re never waking up from this

Incoherent in its final sentiments
Revert to adolescent desperation
Profound longing for those close to us
And to ease the burden of hopelessness

The body left behind
Soul atomized
Damn the conscious mind
And its unwillingness

Begin the realization of impermanence
And every labored breath, mechanical
The body ravaged and cancerous
To know you’re never waking up from this

Dear father
Take my breath
And I’ll scream until there’s nothing left
Just bury me
Just bury me

Dear father
Take my life
Your child has lost the will to fight
The will to bleed
The way you bled for me

Begin the realization of impermanence
And every labored breath, mechanical
The body ravaged and cancerous
To know you’re never waking up from this
