Iron Lung Lyrics

Voices deceive, but the heart does not

This pain by my love, has been brought

Watching death unfold

Life’s finale in vein

A complex prelude to eternity

We hold your hand, limp it drapes over ours

Consciousness escapes you

But it plagues me so

Your mind fully aware

Your body hauled in tow, deaf hearing every word

You, pine to respond

Are you truly alive

Or is this a lie

A fate worse than death

Slipping away, I hear your pleas begging me to stay

My body wanes, hanging off the cliff

I reach for you, fading away

I hear your pleas begging me to stay

These fingers strain

I will lose my grip

Pulled down below just as you are from above, your only anchor is love

On a crumbling bridge you stand

Ready for your collapse we hold you, back

Slipping away, I hear your pleas begging me to stay

My body wanes, hanging off the cliff

I reach for you, fading away

I hear your pleas begging me to stay

These fingers strain

I have lost my grip

So tell me

Tell me if it all gets better

And let me know

What made you pull that fucking trigger

What made you pull that fucking trigger

Did it ever occur to you, that I needed you

I had nothing

I need YOU

And now I have nothing

Embrace the black

The darkness of the night

Embrace your end, denying your life

Shaking hands with death we become ethereal

Shaking hands with death we leave life behind
