Count your fingers
Count your toes
Count out your only nose
Count the people
Count their thoughts
Count all the lies that you have bought
Count the walls
Count the doors
But now you're lying on the floor
Count the beats
Count your breaths
There's not too many left
Count the light
While you fall apart
Count the seconds
Until all goes dark
