Failure to Thrive

I’ll be the victim of cerebral decline
For the duration of my life
Immobilized, I fixate on the floor
This consciousness I endure is ending
I can’t face the day, I can’t run away
I just can’t run away, I just can’t run away
And I can’t sleep
Because at night I shut my eyes to even more
Uncertainty
I just can’t run away, I can’t think or speak
I’m frozen in my bed, my brains awake
But my body is dead
And it feels like I’ve been here before
It’s an illusion no more, I keep circling
I collapse, don’t wait for me to come around
I’m worn, I’m beaten down
I collapse, don’t wait for me to come around
Worn out and beaten down
I can’t sleep, I can’t die, why?
