I can’t remember anything
Can’t tell if this is true or dream
I know inside I failed my team
This terrible silence stops me

Now the black belt is through with me
I’m waking up, I can now see
I should have tapped, it’s clear to me
Nothing is real but pain now

Take my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, Coach, wake me

Back to the mat that’s much too real
Inside chokes that I must feel
But can’t look forward to the zeal
Look to the taps that I’ll take

Fed through the technique stuck in me
Just like a youtube novelty
Tied to black belts that make me be
Cut this life off from me

Take my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, Coach, wake me

Now the sparring’s gone, I’m just done
Oh Coach, help me
Take my breath as I wish for death
Oh please, Coach, help me

Darkness imprisoning me
All that I see
Asphyxiation
I cannot breathe
I cannot leave
Trapped in myself
Body my holding cell

Black Belts have taken my sight
Taken my speech
Taken my hearing
Taken my arms
Taken my legs
Taken my soul
Left me with life in hell
