Screaming that I don't want to die

But don't you push it too far

Thinking about it's here and it's real

Wondering how I really should feel

[Verse 3]
N.C.
They gaped upon me with their mouths
N.C.
As a ravening and a roaring lion
N.C.
I am poured out like water
N.C.
And all my bones are out of joint
N.C.
My heart is like wax
N.C.
It is melted in the midst of my bowels
N.C.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd
N.C.
And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws
N.C.
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death
