Lyrics
No Lungs To Breathe
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I fought who I am inside
Until I wanted, I wanted to die
Instead of finding balance I found hatred
Consumed by failures and ignoring my own strengths
Pushed out sea without learning to swim
Or stranded in the desert with no lungs to breathe
With no lungs to breathe
I had almost lost everything
How can I be expected to readily be content
With a view of life that has rejected
The basis of what has helped me to survive?
And replaced them with precepts
Rather than instruction
Full rule is an illusion (illusion)
All I can do contain selfishness
And unveil what little power we may have
With no lungs to breathe
I had almost lost everything (everything)
Tearing away my flesh before taking
The time to understand it
A miracle may not be the answer
(tearing away my flesh)
When anchoring first on what I have
(before taking the time to understand it)
The ability to change
Like being stranded in the desert
With no lungs to breathe
With no lungs to breathe
I had almost lost everything (everything)
