Inhale, exhale, stay awake, keep talking, don't give in The arms of death are reaching out to decompose your skin Hold tight and the wings of faith will take you higher Hold on tight and you'll be all right Patched up, enfeebled and disqualified From the everyday I had before My independence cut down to the bone They told me I'd live but life is a bore There's a will but there's no way There's an idea but not clay I'm reduced to observing The life work of others with no voice to sing Save me from the fate that I've been given, save me My doorway disappeared and everything turned passé I see the worldly life through different eyes Now I've discerned what lies ahead Once so important's suddenly trivial Time drags when life's confined to a bed There's a fortune but no door There's an island but no oar I'm reduced to creating Vast illusions, daydreaming Airways, I'm running up the steps to catch my airways It's child's play once you get the hang of it, it's my way Back to freedom All night I live the life I once believed in All this time I'm close to fine All night I live the dream I once imagined Hold on tight Airways, I'm running up the steps to catch my airways It's child's play once you get the hang of it, it's too late To be saved in a world that let you down, it's too late
