Shackled to the tubes that puncture my wounds,
That puncture my arms, now the machine is alarmed,
It beeps when it's empty, it beeps when I'm full,
It beeps when my heart skips, it beeps for round two.
A stranger in my chest, a lump in my throat,
There’s rocks on the shore that keep me afloat,
The sensation is gone but yet I live on,
If only to sing the words of this song.

My stomach’s digesting me,
My cracked lungs are choking me,
This match that's been lit in me
Is burning inside constantly.
I'm on fire when I look at you,
I'm on fire when I sleep,
I'm chased in my dreams
By bloody-mouthed sheep.

I woke up without a breast,
I woke up with a mangled chest,
I woke up in my cute little hospital dress.
I woke up there all alone,
I woke up without my funny bone,
I woke up everyday wanting to go home.
I woke up with cut up insides,
I woke up and I was twice my size,
I woke up and then I realised,
That waking up means I’m still alive.

But that night I woke up in terrible pain,
I woke up and the pressure burst my veins,
I woke up and I was put back to sleep again.
