What We Share

[Verse 1: Asymptote] What I saw was Broken glass on the sidewalk Should I even ask about it? Restless nights for a dreamer Talker and screamer Probably an axe about it Sleepless nights with a fever So hot, drenched in sweat, so wet One hundred three degrees The thermometer reads more stress for me No rest for a dreamer What do I see? Shadows on the walls Demons on the ceiling And the lights through my window doesn't help at all Red LED's scream 4:00AM, 6:00AM, 8:00AM Please, wait! Time keeps on slipping Seconds keep on ticking Hours keep on dripping Can't track the days Weeks never stop The years so relentless And the work set on top set me off Now I'm done Resting in my death bed What have I become? Just another workaholic Just another workaholic [Verse 2:Asymptote] I never gave up, so I never sat down Never really had the time I should have paid more attention to my health Read the obvious signs I made the obvious cries Eyes, full of empty lies You would need to pry hard To open wide to see the bones inside The flesh I use to hide The lips to hold these notions in a cage Capture these emotions in a glass bottle And dubbed it rage Just make it stop That's all I'd ask for if and when I ever prayed That will be the day... [Verse 3: Asymptote] Shivers down my spine Layed out on the couch I've got ten blankets over me With the Heater cranked up Around eighty-five, ninety Face of glass beads And I'm Shining like a diamond But I've never looked worse Migraine, dims the lights Beat me to the end POUNDING POUNDING Every sound, beating of a dead horse Throats coarse, and limbs ache Eyes sore, for fucks sake What's come over me? Stomach churning constantly Doctor what's your diagnosis? Please!! Just Gimme a gun, I can't take it That, or hurry back and grab me the vaccine Because another moment of this vicious sickness Is the only suicide note that I need Just sweat it out, sweat it out, sweat it out The only treatment I receive Because everybody has illnesses This is a truth that I've come to perceive Mind racing, heart pacing, faster, gather speed Heart monitor beep (beep), Hasten the IV (V) Illusions, hallucinations, flicker of the Lightning Momentary flutter of my vision, refreshing yet frightening I never thought this is where my death bed would be Brought to me in my home Special delivery Sent by the flu? Or reality?
