The sound of a gun
Stop
The body drops

"What have I done?"

Echoes of a bullet ricochet
Off the walls of a mind
Not ticking, no time

"What is this?"

Take it back a step
Retrace
The need to erase

"Why is this happening?"

A sound that breaks the silence
Sobbing, screaming
I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming

"Who is that?"

Burnt hands of paranoia
Itching
We can fix the stitching

"Is there anything I can do?"

Can't find my memory
But everything's breaking
My body's shaking

"Will I survive this?"

Cold body, cold hands, cold sweat
Frozen
My decision's chosen

"Can I open my eyes?"

The body has my eyes
Oh, dear God
I can't see

"Can I hold my hand?"

This body is me
Dead
With a gun at my head

"Do I regret my decision?"
