out of action

I’m feeling limp
Dehydrated and frustrated
There’s yellow stuff
Welling from my nose
And nasty cough

Piercing pain in my sides
Bacteria in my blood
An intruder’s in my head
And at times I’m lying
In a cold sweat

My legs are aching
My spine feels like it’s breaking
I can no longer see clearly
The world starts to spin
My face is looking pale and thin

These times are so weary
My body’s nailed to the cross
All I need to do is sleep
But I can’t – I just toss
I keep tossing and turning

My temperature’s burning
Stepping into delirium
I wonder how I got so far down
While yesterday I felt so awesome
Won’t you come?
