INTRO

The cerebrum has suffered massive and irreparable damage.

You'll never know what has happened to him.

If I had not been sure of this, I would not have permitted

him to live.

DIALOGUE

Father?

I need

help!

VERSE

What is democracy?

What is democracy?

It's got something to do with young men killing each other,

Arthur.

When it comes my turn, will you want me to go?

For democracy, any man would give his only begotten son.

DIALOGUE

It is impossible for a de-celebrated individual to experience pain,

pleasure, memory, dreams, or a cough of any kind.

This young man will be as

I'm feeling, as

I'm thinking, as the day, until the day he joins me.

VERSE

I don't know whether

I'm alive or dreaming or dead and remembering.

How can you tell what's a dream and what's real when you can't even tell when you're awake, when you're asleep?

Where am I?

I can't remember anything

Can't tell if this is true or dream

Deep down inside I feel the scream

This terrible silence stops me

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up I cannot see

That there's not much left of me

Nothing is real but pain now

CHORUS

Hold my breath as I wish for death

Oh, please,

God, wake me I just went ahead and chopped off everything

Oh, God Please make them hear me

They won't listen

They won't hear me

Please don't wake me up

I'll be like this for years

VERSE

Hear me Back in the womb it's much too real

In pump's laugh that I must feel

But can't look forward to reveal

Look to the time when I live

Bed to the truth that sticks in me

Just like a wartime novelty

Tied to machines that make me be

Cut this life off from me

CHORUS

Hold my breath as I whisper, dear

Oh, please, God, wake me

DIALOGUE

It won't always be like this, will it?

I can't live like this!

I can't!

Please no, I can't, I can't!

Help me!

Somebody please help me!

Mother?

Where are you?

Help me mother,

I'm having a nightmare and I can't wake up!

VERSE

Now the world is gone,

I'm just one

Oh God help me!

CHORUS

Hold my breath as I wish for dear

Oh please God help me!

INSTRUMENTAL

DIALOGUE

Me lying here like...

like some freak in carnival

show.

He is the harmless, legless, wonder of the 20th century!

| G | Bm | C | A |

| D | Bm |

INSTRUMENTAL

This has the dignity of all its own.

| G | Bm | C | Em |

DIALOGUE

Father, I need help.

I'm in terrible trouble and I need help.

Don't you remember when you were little?

Oh, you and

Bill

Harper used to bring a wire between the two houses so you could telegraph to each other.

Do you remember the

Morse code?

VERSE

Darkness imprisoning me, all that I see, absolute horror,

I cannot live, I cannot die, trapped in myself, body my only tail.

It's Morris Cody.

Of what?

SOS.

CHORUS

Hell.

Not mine!

That's taking my sight, taking my speech, taking my hearing, taking my arms, taking

my legs, taking my soul, leaving me with life in hell!

DIALOGUE

What's he saying?

that kill me over and

over again.

Check it.

Don't you have some message for him,

Padre?

He's the product of your profession.

Not mine.

DIALOGUE

I'm off.

Goodbye, father.

VERSE

Inside me, I screamed.

Nobody pays any attention.

If I had arms, I could kill myself.

If I had legs, I could run away.

If I had a voice, I could talk and be some kind

of company for myself.

Why don't they get it over with and kill me?

I could kneel for help, but nobody'd

help me.

I just got

to use something and

see how I can

go on like this.

OUTRO

Come, breathe, breathe,

come, breathe, come, breathe.

Keep a home while burning

While our hearts are

yearning

Though your last sigh

How would you rate this song?
