my pupils are drying up
at an unstoppable rate
my brain is filled with water
with nowhere to escape
i feel this palpable hate
dwindling day after day
i think i’m drowning my brain
i feel the air dissipate
i feel my heart start to wane
and it’s a weird kind of fate
to die from a numb kind of pain
it slowly drives you insane
all this water with nowhere to drain
all this water and no sign of rain
