Somewhere In Between

I'm breathing on my own
they say I'm not quite dead
though I haven't yet let go
I'm hanging by a thread

they say I'm not quite dead
but my pulse is getting weak
my life is playing games
games of hide and seek

I'm not quite dead they say
but I'm getting pretty close
they say I don't have much time left
2 hours at the most

I'm not quite dead they say
but my stats have dropped real low
I'm in cardiac arrest
there isn't long to go

I seem to still be trying
though my vitals took a dive
they say I'm not quite dead
but I'm also not alive
