I'm cold and I'm lonely
I feel like I'm dying
Oh, would my cage only
Numb all of my crying
My bones, they are aching
My heart beats too slow
Reveal what I'm lacking
I'm dying to know

My lungs are too shallow
My skin feels like paper
My teeth turning yellow
My blood is just vapor
My lips, they are craggy
My veins are inert
My hair is too shaggy
My mouth full of dirt

Please help me, I'm dying
And living a lie
And though I am trying
I just can't get by
I'm shattered, I'm scattered
My mind is a graveyard
My thoughts are too tattered
I'm falling apart
