Lifeless, I'm falling off a cliff,
Breathless, I'm drowning in the sea,
Speechless, am I a baby, fallen asleep?
No, I'm standing steadily, as I breathe.
Shivering, I'm in an ice machine,
Smiling, I'm happy, I see,
Gone red, have someone slapped me?
No, I'm seated, staring at the screen.
Childish, this can't be me,
Where's that pride, for sure, this isn't me,
Dumb, no no it's not me,
Yes, these happen, but this can't be me.
Staring at the mirror, I speak,
Easy easy, look at me,
Breathe, breathe and again breathe,
I'm totally fine, but ohhhhh, passing by, heart please.
