Breathless
I am here alone surrounded by a crowd
I am overwhelmed with doubt screaming
LET ME OUT! Somebody....anybody....
I'm hallucinating, hyperventilating
Breathless...
Slowly losing the faith I never thought I had
Quickly forcing a smile on my face
In order to replace the images of me still being in this place
Even if just for a moment
But I'm wasting me energy on soundproof glass
Rolling into a routine
Everything like clock work
Every second of our lives seem longer than the last
Tick tock, tick tock
Tired of it all
Throwing my hands up in surrender
Tragedy really, how you make every call
Trashing souls in a blender
You eat this shit for breakfast
You talk endlessly day in and day out
About nothing of any importance
I don't understand how you're not breathless
Creating barriers
Causing tremors in the palms of the lost
Taking up the room that we hardly have left
Toying with all that could make or break us
And what do have here?
Mix ups, rug pullers an liars
I'm sure I'm missing a few
How are you still functioning?
With such power and force of darkness
You tend to to walk with your head up your ass
Like there's nothing wrong in the world
Well congratulations....
No escaping you
Taunting voices in the back of my head
Agreeing with others from another life
Just quit while you already have me on the ledge
Nightmares of the worst
Working in the dark and my hands tied behind my back
Falling back to the same old thing dare in and day out
I'm all out of breath
