Everything

They tell me I have to get out of bed
They tell me I have to keep up my strength
I've got to eat something
I'm hoping that the taste will kill me
I have agonized to find a different way

And there is no soothing for the boiling of my skin
There is no comfort here

So what if I'm standing here?
I still hurt from my hair to my feet
I know this is nothing now but once it was everything

They tell me I have to get up and dressed
They tell me I have to start getting out
I've got to keep busy
Maybe exertion will do me in
I have been defiled a thousand different ways

There is no pressure for the hemorrhaging
There is no healing me So what if I'm walking now?
I still burn every time that I breathe
I know this is nothing now but once it was everything

It rips me from my dreams
I swear I hear your voice
I run from room to room to find you

So what if I'm walking now?
I still burn every time that I breathe
I know this is nothing
Nothing
To me this is everything
