Breathe

Clothes are laying on the floor
With holes in every shirt
Jeans hung upon bedroom doors
With lights that never work
This room is made from mama's bones
She made me feel some worth
I knew I'd need to say goodbye to it
But I didn't think it would hurt
Dreams have been there all my life
To guide me as a kid
When everything was full of shine
And everything felt big
Used to look up to the sky
And now my head stays dipped
But a heart in me that once had died
Is asking me to live

And if I'm not meant to find my happiness
Well that's fine at least I tried
I didn't give up on the way
I know there's others who might laugh at this
But that's life
And I'm not throwing mine to hate
I gave it years to find some peace
But there's nothing left for me here
Apart from friends who aren't friends
And people who disappeared
A life made from pretend
Ready for the light and diesel
Let the flames ignite the end
So I can go and start my sequel

Cause I am sick of the clouds in my mind
They're raining and pouring inside
These waters surrounded my life
So I gave it my best
Held my air in the deep
I'm thinning the fog and the haze
That's blinded me all through my days
This vision is not what I've chased
So I'm leaving my demons and starting to breathe
So I'm leaving my demons and starting to breathe

I find pictures of a younger me
And lockets shaped like hearts
Cards from those now enemies
Everyone had left their mark
But these scars they'd simply reappear
Every time I fell apart
Their sharpened heads would rear
Like I was still swimming with the sharks
Pre-chorus
Maybe I'm meant to find my happiness
If I tried with my time
Instead of counting all the days
And when the others, they all laugh at this
That's alright
Cause I'm fine living in the grey
I've got years to write my peace
There's a story left in me
Without those friends who aren't friends
And all those people who aren't people
A life made on the mend
Putting down that can of diesel
Douse the flames inside my head
So I can go and live my sequel

Cause I'm sick of the clouds in my mind
They're raining and pouring inside
These waters surrounded my life
So I gave it my best
Held my air in the deep
I'm thinning the fog and the haze
That's blinded me all through my days
This vision is not what I've chased
So I'm leaving my demons and starting to breathe
So I'm leaving my demons and starting to breathe
So I'm leaving my demons and starting to breathe
