Barely Breathing

Barely breathing, watching the sky

I'm slowly waiting for an answer

I woke up to find the things I'm searching for will never make me human

Black skies circle,

I have to take control

I have to break the cycle

If one thing confines me,

I have to blame myself there's no one left to blame but me

The truth can ruin lives,

the truth can ruin everything

I'm looking forward now,

I'm forgetting everything

I hope I have the heart to try and fail

I have received this life and I'll defend it with valor

I have received this life and I can't take it for granted

How can we live destined to fail when I can barely breath

We have a choice, it's in our hands

Will we stand firm or will we wilt with age

These thoughts have plagued me for so long

That I've confused my thoughts for reality

We search for things we can't attain

Money kills status fades and when we wake up we'll be dead
