i'm suffocating
all i do is thinking
all i do is waiting
waiting for someone to save me
waiting while i watch my hair fall out
skin under my eyes get darker
lines in my hands get deeper
my vision get weaker
my youth slip away
i've been here for too long
it's been comfortable
i've been able to breathe
oh, it's only an illusion
fading away with time
every passing minute
i'm sinking deeper
it gets harder to feel
maybe i've forgotten that i'm real
i'm suffocating
all i do is waiting
all i do is thinking
thinking about all that could be
thinking while i watch the years fly by
let me think a little longer
let me calculate the future
make the choice i'm yet to have
spend the money i'm yet to earn
leave the place i'm yet to reach
oh, i'm still falling
i'm only falling down
falling down endlessly
fading away with time
every passing minute
i'm sinking deeper
it gets harder to see
maybe i've forgotten that i'm free
