Disgust for human nature

Dread for what comes next

A question I can’t answer

As an egg in a nest

Trapped here behind iron doors

Only a square of light

A reminder of a disease

We cannot fight

What brings you most dread

The question or the answer

Which brings back the dead

Or maybe all is the cancer

Number five, question

Number five, dreadful, disgusting

Number five, I am not a number

Number five, I am a human being

Awaiting what shall come to me

Death or something worse

As I sit in silence

Behind iron doors

If I reach out my hand

I feel warmth on my skin

But what does the heat matter

When I am so cold within

What brings you most dread

The question or the answer

Which brings back the dead

Or maybe all is the cancer

Number five, question

Number five, dreadful, disgusting

Number five, I am not a number

Number five, I am a human being

How long has it been?

Months or maybe years?

I have cried so much that now

My eyes are out of tears

Was it something I did

Or was it just meant to be

I haven’t heard a single word

Since he took me

What brings you most dread

The question or the answer

Which brings back the dead

Or maybe all is the cancer

Number five, question

Number five, dreadful, disgusting

Number five, I am not a number

Number five, I am a human being

What brings you most dread

The question or the answer

Which brings back the dead

Or maybe all is the cancer

Number five, question

Number five, dreadful, disgusting

Number five, I am not a number

Number five, I am a human being
