Eyes open Blinding lights, my limbs are frozen The sirens Echo through the city streets tonight They're micro-dosing empathy To get me through the surgery They're harvesting my arteries You've taken every part of me Doctor, help me, tell me, am I breathing? I can't tell if I'm awake or dreaming On the stretcher (and I slip away) Is it better (if I drift away?) Doctor, help me, tell me, am I breathing? (Sometimes, it's hard to tell) Take, take the love right from my lungs They can't operate, need to amputate So wait, wait and watch me start to bleed You played your part and I paid the price Micro-dosing empathy To get me through the surgery They're harvesting my arteries You've taken every part of me Doctor, help me, tell me, am I breathing? I can't tell if I'm awake or dreaming On the stretcher (and I slip away) Is it better (if I drift away?) Doctor, help me, tell me, am I breathing? (Sometimes, it's hard to tell) Well, you look like love and you taste like pain And you're all I want but it's not the same When the heartbeat fades, I'll be on the table so Lacerate my chest
