Breathe

Intro

Grey ash in the windowpane

Staring through my twisted frame

Something’s rotten in my chest

Rust crawls over every breath

Fingers tangled, cracked and cold

Chasing answers, growing old

Haunted by a voice that’s me

Strangled hope I can’t unsee

Chorus

I’m my own worst damn enemy

Digging trenches in my mind, endlessly

Clouds of lead just rain on me

Still I beg for light, constantly

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, set me free

Oh oh oh, let me breathe

Verse 2

Sick of spinning in this circle

Every day’s a faded sequel

Walls are getting taller, tighter

Still I’m crawling, climbing higher

Pre-Chorus

Rip my skin and search inside

Looking for a reason why

Empty hands and broken teeth

But I won’t just die beneath

Chorus

I’m my own worst damn enemy

Digging trenches in my mind, endlessly

Clouds of lead just rain on me

Still I beg for light, constantly

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, set me free

Oh oh oh, let me breathe

Bridge

Shadows peeling from the ceiling

Pulse is slow but I keep feeling

Nails dig deep, pain reminding

Somewhere under scars, there’s shining

Outro

Cut the cord, lay me bare

All these years stacked in the air

If I burn, let it mean something

Drown this echo, start becoming

Maybe I’m the fire and the rain

Just a fracture in the chain

Trading poison for a reason

Clawing out of another season

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh, set me free

Oh oh oh, let me breathe
