Breathe.

I'm only half way home when I realize
As I am standing still my head will fly
And now I wait for my approaching death
But until then I'm reaching for my breath

My skin is shedding, my face is tearing
My blood is letting, there's people staring
My veins are popping, my stomach's turning
My heart is stopping, their stares are burning
I'm blinded by they're aimless stares
When dim lit candles turn to flares
I'm blinded, deafened, muted and scared
By every witness pretending to care
I find it hardgetting hard to hide with all these needles in my eyes
They close, they open then they di-lately I've been asking why
Why I reference butterflies, forging what you'd call a lie
Trembling fear that builds inside, who am I kidding who am I?

I want to, I want to, I want to breathe
I want to, I want to, I want to see,
I want to grieve, I want to leave
I want to, I want to breathe

And when I try to breathe my lungs decline
Collapsed and lying under dim street lights
My shaking fingers reaching for my head
In tears, I'm drowning as I near my end

I'm starting to question why I am still here
And I've learned my lesson, but only from fear
A lifetime of hatred will come to an end
I'm not gonna make it so leave me here friend
I'm trampled by a hurd of air, my lungs collapse and start to tear
I'm taken, awakened and don't know where
I still don't know why they're pretending to care

Believing me it's half the fight, I promise you that I'm alright
Indeed I need a path in life cause lately I've been sacrificing
Everything I need in spite of comfortability and light
but due to my prophecy of striving forward endlessly until I die
I guess I'm fine

I wish I could cry, I wish I could feel
I wish I could fly, and I wish I was real
My only regret, is letting you see
And my only request, is to set me free

I want to
I want to
I want to scream

(I want to, I want to, I want to, I want to)
I am extinct, as far as you know
A feeling of hate, begins to grow
I wish I could live, I wish I could die
Accepting my fate, denying my lies

I want to, I want to, I want to breathe
I want to, I want to, I want to see,
I want to grieve, I want to leave
I want to breathe

I want to, I want to
I want to, I want to

The pool of tears I drowned in starts to dry
My mouth and throat will close and soon my eyes
Once I gain consciousness my lungs inflate
And after all this time I know my fate
