I’m sinking in something heavy into a soft spot a soggy bit of road a sand-trap
It seems there is always pain when I think of you I close my eyes to shield them from the loudness of your words
I say too much but am never heard I'm walked over by the pounding of feet with a painful throb
Stop sucking the air from the room so that I may catch my breath
My tongue is swollen my heart is burning I'm sending smoke signals
You’re picking my bones clean whilst I’m still in here trying to live
If my head did not hurt I’d stand up and shout If my heart did not hurt I'd stand up and scream
—so that you’d hear me
