lyrics

Breathin’

See, I try to live free but life’s got me in it’s hold
Grippin’ on my soul and I don’t know
Just how much more of this that I can take
Lord, take me away to some place safe
Please? I’m on my knees
Hands masking my face, I ain’t got no cheese
Nothin’ to smile about, I am not at ease
And when my passion burns out, I spark my trees
Just to keep going, I know that seems hopeless
But the high lifts me up and slows down these moments
So that I can seize on it, I’m just being honest
In this altered state of mind, I can see promise
Like anything is possible with just a thought and so
To the top I go over obstacles
Just give me another day and let me live my life
And I swear, I’ma do it right this time

Anotha breathe, anotha second, where life gets so hectic
Days are too long and at nights you’re so restless
Fight and then forget it, mind is inattentive
As your soul remains lost right where you left it
But you can’t stand to look at the man who’s shook
In the mirror, it’s gettin’ clearer what the fears have took
From you…I know…I’ve been there too
And I know, nothing’s worse than not knowing what to do
But trust, it gets better, pain ain’t forever
If you make it out the storm, you can take on any weather
I swear…there’s a point to it all
You were made to get back up anytime that you fall
And it’s crazy ‘cause you’re scared that maybe if you dared
To pray he will be there to save you from despair
But have a little faith, just make it through the day
And I promise…you gon’ be okay
