Some-

times

I

think

a-

bout

who

I

should

be-

lieve

The

peo-

ple

who

are

dead

or

the

peo-

ple

who

are

free

Some-

times

I

hear

them

as

they

whi-

sper

to

me

I

try

to

stay

a-

wake

so

I

won't

die

in

my

sleep

And

I

was

quick

to

take

a

se-

cond

look

through

The

win-

dow

on

the

door

of

the

o-

pe-

ra-

ting

room

And

the

ad-

re-

na-

line,

it

threw

my

eyes

To

the

tab-

le

on

the

floor

where

the

pa-

tients

lie

I

saw

his

face

I

could

not

speak

As

the

a-

nes-

the-

tic

kissed

his

cheek

I

felt

my

lips

go

cold

and

my

limbs

go

weak

Be-

cause

the

bo-

dy

on

the

tab-

le

where

the

pa-

tients

die

was

me

It

was

me

Give

me

back

my

o-

xy-

gen

mask

Cause

I

don't

want

to

feel

the

walls

of

my

heart

co-

llapse

So

put

me

un-

der

I

would

soo-

ner

die

on

this

ta-

ble

Than

face

what

cau-

ses

me

to

be

so

un-

sta-

ble

There

was

a

lie

bet-

ween

my

de-

mons

and

me

And

a

bo-

dy

made

of

pa-

per

in

the

pa-

ssen-

ger

seat

As

I

o-

pen

my

eyes,

I

could

not

see

I

felt

the

stit-

ches

come

loose

and

the

blood

run

free

And

as

my

thoughts

be-

gan

to

shake

I

felt

the

hand

of

the

dark-

ness

kiss

my

face

And

then

the

de-

vil

woke

up

and

he

grabbed

my

throat

He

pulled

me

down

to

the

place

where

the

si-

lence

grows

He

looks

at

me

with

ho-

llow

eyes

And

he

whis-

pered

my

name

as

the

flo-

wers

died

I

felt

my

heart

go

cold

as

I

sank

bet-

ween

The

o-

cean

I

am

and

the

ri-

ver

I'm

meant

to

be

I'm

meant

to

be

Give

me

back

my

o-

xy-

gen

mask

Cause

I

don't

want

to

feel

the

walls

of

my

heart

co-

llapse

So

put

me

un-

der

I

would

soo-

ner

die

on

this

ta-

ble

Than

face

what

cau-

ses

me

to

be

so

un-

sta-

ble

Now I'm

stan-

ding

by

the

win-

dow

on

a

Sun-

day

And

I

can't

quite

re-

call

Why

I

can-

not

move

at

all

And

I

feel

so

tired

and

woun-

ded

Like

the

stit-

ches

on

my

soul

came

a-

part

I'm

stan-

ding

here

in

the

dark

Well,

may-

be

it's

from

the

drinks

we

had

last

night

But

good

god,

I

love

those

friends

of

mine

The

best

that

al-

co-

hol

can

buy

Or

may-

be

it's

from

the

lack

of

sleep

But

all

those

sec-

rets

I've

kept,

trying

to

be

so

sweet

to

you

It's

dark,

my

dear

But

it

got

me

through,

it

got

me

through

So

give

me

back

my

o-

xy-

gen

mask

Cause

I

don't

want

to

feel

the

walls

of

my

heart

co-

llapse

So

put

me

un-

der

I

would

soo-

ner

die

on

this

ta-

Than

what

cau-

me

to

Cu-

Cu-

un-

Some-

times

I

won-

der

if

I'm

on-

a

ghost

Wear-

I

ne-

Be-
