In the Flesh

It's here again, knees tremble Been too long since last time And I don't look forward to it Went to extremes to avert it All my plans, precautions, tricks Fell apart from just a wind blow Can't hardly move, I'm fragile Can't they see it's not fine Show them signs but there's no action It takes its time, no form yet Seconds flow, slow like sweat On my frame, a nervous breakdown Robbed of time, I did no crime Yet I can't leave this room Soon we know you'll fade away So why do you insist? My guard is down, I'm helpless It attacks my senses And I feel lost in scorching deserts Clocks molten, time is no more I can see no shape or shadow Across the peanut skyline Feet trapped in sand, slow sinking As its crows rip my throat And my faint breath barely keeps me alive Still in a fog, still shaking Searching for a drop of water My mouth more dry than these grounds Robbed of time, I did no crime Yet I can't leave this room Soon we know you'll fade away So why do you insist? Robbed of time, I did no crime Yet I can't leave this room Soon we know you'll fade away So why do you insist? Robbed of time, I did no crime Yet I can't leave this room Soon we know you'll fade away So why do you insist?
