In the Event Of...

Listen close even though I cannot speak
Will you help me with these mouths to feed?
Tell my mom and my dad I'm not dead yet
They got me tied down to this hospital bed

And I'll still tell you everything is fine
Don't hold your breath, I fear this may take a while
This is just evolution telling me it's time
This is just evolution playing its hand, telling me it's time

I still sleep with my front door unlocked
To give the medics a better shot
A familiar book sits beside my bed stand lamp
To check myself when I can't say who I am

And I'll still tell you everything is fine
Don't hold your breath, I fear this may take a while
This is just evolution telling me it's time
This is just evolution playing its hand, telling me it's time
