Again these doors burst open it's time for work not a moment
To spare despair is closing in overshadowing hope
Yet it's the closest thing to focus if only I could disclose or declare
A full repair without a doubt to those who care
Don't you dare! Stay professional hold it together yes we will
Do the best that we can though there can be no guarantees
I've seen too many come and go and feel I need to clarify
Mostly bodies sometimes souls give and take in here sometimes
I hear the cries and try as I might the fight isn't there in my
Patience (patients) life isn't fair but I swear I'll try
In these scary times the fear subsides once the message is given
The teary-eyed acceptance whether it's "yes" or it isn't
But right now check the time on the clock we got precious minutes
Maybe seconds: "This one's slipping!" Got no response to defibrillation
We're too late and have no choice but to call it
What's the exact time? Mark it we've done all we can but damn it's a

Flatline the fact is that happens can't always add time
Sometimes that facet drastic as it is can't hide
And that's life sad but it's fast and after it stand by
Perhaps you'll catch a glimpse of its meaning before you capsize

It's all dark now a voice in the distance faint and it's fading away
Oh wait a minute no way is this what I'm thinking it is?
It isn't over it can't be can it? What happened?
Last thing I can remember's the tension and then it's blackness
The back of my mind it might know I can't recapture the time though
For the life of me I might just be dying dancing my last
And as it happens there's no light show, no flash of white or a spiral
I'm just here with my thoughts which are fading away
And my only guess is that there's no circulation of oxygen
Can't tell if my eyes are opened or closed but those aren't options
And and this point it seems to me I cease to be alive
No longer feel my heartbeat inside my chest or it rise
Insanity if I could I probably would be panicking
Over the harsh reality of something that wasn't planned to be
But is happening regardless no choice but to depart
Into whatever step is after life 'cause this is it damn am I a

Nothing is a guarantee everything'll perish
Eventually the air we breath'll be our adversary
As it starts to work against us exercising polarity
The air we can't catch our very last breath and then we flatline
