Emotions running Sky High

heart is bleared and smeared with toil
my lungs slowly buckle and choke in the soil
I fall to my knees with no strength to stand
because the blood that I need drips down from your hand

The beating is fading away
you watch me shattered with nothing to say
I am dead to the world and there is nothing to keep
what was left in the fire, burnt my eyes, made me weep

The surge tainted nightmares that won't let me sleep
rupture the glass covered thoughts that had cut me too deep
blackened by power, by the coal and the tar
you know that without you I will not get far

Without my oxygen my blood will quickly curdle
and every task in my life will become one giant hurdle
each one getting harder with every step I take
knowing that the love you gave was fake.
