Stop, Blink

This is broken; did you touch it?
It's not breathing
It's not moving; did you hear it?
This isn't living

Change, change, change

Stop

Blink

I can say I've reached a breaking point
I can't tell the seconds apart anymore
The minutes, the hours
They're all the same
The pulse has faded
I'm driven insane

It's not speaking; can it see?
This isn't being
It's not growing; can it smile?
This isn't dying

Shame, shame, shame

Stop

Blink

His voice resonates in a distant memory
I've spent my time listening to it before
For minutes, for hours
I loved him all the same
Then his voice faded
And this is what I became

This is not beating; can it feel?
It's no longer in there
This is not real; can it cry?
It's no longer willing

Maim, maim, maim

Stop

Blink

It's not in me nor away from me
It lingers somewhere between my lips
For minutes, for hours
It was a struggle all the same
Then his name faded
And I had no one else to blame

It's not believing; is it aware?
This isn't dealing
This isn't contact; is it a dream?
It's not responding

Wane, wane, wane

Stop

Blink
