I can't breathe

Can you give me space

Just for a moment

I feel like my lungs are deprived

Lacking oxygen

Squealing in pain

I helped you

Now help me

Back off a bit to let me breathe

Let me out of this

Dark cramped space

I cannot breathe

I need air

I need it now

Before I pass out

Just stop asking me for help

You ask so often

So often I feel that it's too much

All I want is breathing room

That's all I ask

So step back

I need air

Before...

I black out
