Lyrics
Take a Breath
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 waited patiently
Till I figured it out and calmed you down
You saw it differently
You're my shadow now
I'll cast you out into the dark
Stay (stay)
Awake (awake)
And pray (pray) for another way out
You can fake (fake) anything
But your past (your past)
Has its hands around your neck
Take a breath if you need it
Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me?
Inside you're so empty
You can try all you want, you won't fill it
Such a waste (you just can't escape)
Separate (you just float away)
Such a waste (used up all my time)
Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate)
I've had this feeling before
It's always around, it drags me down
This time of year
There's a certain smell I can't ignore
Don't give up, not this time
Can't go back again
Can't go back again
(Care if I'm alright?)
Is anyone listening?
Take a breath if you need it
Hold it in for a minute, can you feel me?
Inside you're so empty
You can try all you want, you won't fill it
Such a waste (you just can't escape)
Separate (you just float away)
Such a waste (used up all my time)
Suffocate (I really wish you'd suffocate)
Pull me in, cover me, bury me, walk away
I won't notice
It's so hopeless
Follow me silently off a ledge so we can sleep
So we can sleep
Take a breath if you need it
Take a breath if you need it
Come on, breathe
Take a breath
