Lethal injection
Sniff the air, sentenced to death one hour before my time to die, meet Seth
Don't want to die, fear congeals touch the tears on my face, taste my last meal
Replay my life, blurred imagery claustrophobic walls, close in on me
Sounds crisp, conscious it's scary, shake try to stand, legs mock me
I can't die, inside bleeding, questions storming my mind, flashing meaning
No escape said they're coming to kill me they're going to take my life away
No mistake as the Pentothal fills me there is nothing that I can do or say
Don't want to die, no appeal, sweet air on my face Notice colour, texture, grey steel
Wallow in sensation, pain, sorrow, misery cling to history, playing in the garden aged three My dogs death I was ten, I cried so, believe in Jesus, dog collars praise you
You won't answer me, suddenly I'm freezing
Meant nothing to my life, but now you give it meaning
No escape said they're coming to kill me they're going to take my life away
No mistake as the Pentothal fills me there is nothing that I can do or say
Escape, grab at fantasy, hope of the hopeless
Mind playing tricks on me, the gate swung open
Try to set my spirit free, third eye won't open
Try to mind float keys to me, I keep groping
Ten minutes left, reality returns like toothache
Ammonia stabs the brain, but does not penetrate
Footsteps it's time, I defecate
Don't want to die, no I won't cooperate
Faces merge in my mind, I cry too young to die
Why I cry? I'm too young to die
Yes they're going to kill me they're going to take my life away.
No mistake as the Pentothal fills me there is nothing that I can do or say
Kicking screaming, dragged, lungs wheezing
Deny the crime the father, lose reason
The enormity chloroforms instinct
Passivity emerges, autonomic is on the blink
End of I, my thoughts, my blueprint
Pledge all I have. Please, I choke, gagged
New coliseum hyenas bay for blood
Failed search the needle enters like a slug
Think the last thoughts this man will ever think
Aware, heart slowing down, Seth my friend I sink
No escape said they're coming to kill me they're going to take my life away
No mistake as the Pentothal fills me there is nothing that I can do or say
Lethal injection, no call, no extension No intervention, no remorse, no retention
