I'm still awake

Life has just started
But the world has not yet begun
I'm waiting for my messiah
Still waiting for the prodigal son

It's getting harder by the second
Fighting just to breathe
With a thousand pounds on your chest
All you can do is grieve

Air feels like water
So hard to catch my breath
The pain begins when I wake
Relief will come with death

It won't be long now
Not much more I can take
The nightmare never ends
But I'm still awake
