Some Just Vanish
When you find me pinned beneath the wreckage
Call off your sirens call of your search everything is quiet
On fire everything is warm inside the glow with television static
With engines purring let me sleep
One by one will my friends leave my side
Or will my plane just drop out of the sky
I can't afford to sleep through the virus hard at work
It's called me out
This body will collapse
Useless to the world
One sudden drop
One by one as my senses fade away
Tied to machines that feed signals to my brain
This is the end
The doctor draws a blade
With patient hands
He writes his name in braille
I can't slow my breathing down when I'm staring at the floor
Underneath the threat of giving in, I give it all once more
Quietly dissolving under lights
That call me home I can hear the voices trailing off
Someone is shutting me down
Someone is shoving me underneath waves of lead
And I wasn't strong enough to swim back up to the surface to find you
This is how it begins quietly counting backwards from ten, nine, eight
Seven-six-five-four-three
But I can't concentrate on anything
No one can save me
I'm not even here
I am drifting from consciousness into oblivion
Someone is shutting me down
