Still Beating

Rain's coming down on the street
May I have a different mission please
Telling you how I am tonight
Just isn't going to spice this right
Down, down along with the hills
Why do you need the pills
This conversation comes to an end
I don't know what you're dealing with

Slower, Slower
Is your breathing
Now, tell me, is your heart still beating

Coming to the Hospice Room
Just to see that you'll die soon
Before long there's a bag of ashes
The fire catches
Black
That's all you'll see
Before long it's the same to me

Slower, Slower
Is your breathing
Now, tell me, is your heart still beating

Life and death come together
Sometimes I wonder which one's better
Racing for the finish line
Just to see your aren't fine

Slower, Slower
Was your breathing
Why did your heart have to stop beating
