lungs of lead

eyes closed, noise in my head.
thoughts escaping, just a deep breath
my hands feel cold, anxious shakes.

the music is too loud, my chest feels compressed
what's wrong with me? what's wrong with the air?
nothing apparently, but my lungs breathe lead

i can't focus, i'm hard pressed to think,
what's that feel again, i'm numb and stressed
just take your pills, it'll all be over soon
