Phosphorus

By Proposal

Thumbnail

You made me breathe when all that surrounds me I didn't need

Forcing me to focus on things that I didn't seem to notice

Forced to focus, on the depth of where I'm wading

Because I know if I'm not careful it'll be the depths that take me

Take me out of reach beyond the blight

Relieve me of sound, relieve me of sight

Burning I still gasp

Blinded by the process

Hanging by a thread

This phosphorous will be my end

I'm on my knees

This coarse veil I'm inhaling lеaves me choking and I pray

I pray you won't find me dеad

Find me dead

Take my life and picture me there

Make a record of what I've done

They won’t remember me here

Take my life and picture me there

Inscribe it in my skin

You won’t remember me here

The last sight I have

Through this field of smoke

Is what was in your hands

Left in a trail of hope

I guess the distance

Is what brought us close

Now it's the distance

Between the start and the end of the rope

Find me dead
