Let Me Breathe
There's a game of hide and seek tonight
Between my shadow and I
And it starves for something greater now
As I sit here satisfied
It whispers in my ear and tries
To sell my soul for things that I don't need
It seems it won't stop until I break
Especially when I start to speak
Let me breathe as I try to clear the weight inside
As I find my saving grace this time
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me be as I try to steal away this night
As I try to clear the weight inside
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me breathe as I try to clear a space inside
This game we play is zero sum
There's no winner and no higher ground
But at least these words they save my pain
From this battle to which I'm bound
I say
Trust me you don't want any of this
Trust me you don't want any of this
Trust me you don't want any of these empty lies
So get behind me and follow the leader
Get behind me and follow the leader
Don't forget your place and remember why
Let me breathe as I try to clear the weight inside
As I find my saving grace this time
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me be as I try to steal away this night
As I try to clear the weight inside
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me breathe as I try to clear a space inside
Yeah
And I hope to God that this saves you too
Cause we all have shadows in our minds
And all they want is everything and all we have is time
And all that we can try to do is lead them to the light
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Let me breathe as I try to clear the weight inside
As I find my saving grace this time
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me be as I try to steal away this night
As I try to clear the weight inside
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me breathe as I try to clear a space inside
Cause the hunger never fades
Trust me you don't want any of this
Trust me you don't want any of this
Trust me you don't want any of these empty lies
Get behind me and follow the leader
Get behind me and follow the leader
Don't forget your place and remember why
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Between my shadow and I
And it starves for something greater now
As I sit here satisfied
It whispers in my ear and tries
To sell my soul for things that I don't need
It seems it won't stop until I break
Especially when I start to speak
Let me breathe as I try to clear the weight inside
As I find my saving grace this time
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me be as I try to steal away this night
As I try to clear the weight inside
Cause the hunger never fades
No the hunger never fades
Let me breathe as I try to clear a space inside

Trust me you don't want any of this
Trust me you don't want any of these empty lies
Get behind me and follow the leader
Get behind me and follow the leader
Don't forget your place and remember why
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
Get behind me oh dear shadow
