Calling from this bed I'm spitting words but there's no meaning, no (Now he's taking his time) He's got nothing to lose (But the first thing he sees) Is the last thing he chose?

Lying in this bed Embedded in this written story Can you hear me now? Calling from this bed I'm spitting words but there's no meaning
