Feel the noose tightening around my neck Cannot breathe, choking on every breath Distressed Unrest No end in sight Bury me alive Agonizing thoughts penetrate my mind Nobody sees, nobody hears, nobody cares, nobody's there Couldn't be any more aware that I'm living in a nightmare This is when things go from bad to worse But it isn't a dream, real life is more perverse Every sound that I make just echoes back Am I really awake?
