Intro (Long, low drone. Distant city hum. A single, slow heartbeat-like pulse. Very little movement.) Verse 1 Still walking through the gray Eyes open in the dark I feel it in my chest That breath that set me apart It burns behind my ribs Heavier every night Most days I want to let it go And disappear into the light Pre-Chorus But I can still see my own thoughts I can still face the darker truths Chorus God’s breath inside my lungs Heavy as a stone I could give it back tonight And never be alone But I won’t waste it I won’t waste it I won’t waste God’s breath Verse 2 The sleepwalkers drift past Nothing behind their eyes I almost joined their march I almost said goodbye There are moments I forget Why I stay awake at all Then the breath moves through me And I remember the call Pre-Chorus I can still see my own thoughts I can still face the darker truths Chorus God’s breath inside my lungs Heavy as a stone I could give it back tonight And never be alone But I won’t waste it I won’t waste it I won’t waste God’s breath Bridge How do you know you’re not a zombie When the night gets this cold Just because I think outside my dimension Doesn’t mean I don’t feel old Maybe I should close my eyes Maybe I should fade away But that would just be a waste Of the only thing that keeps me awake Final Chorus (bigger, more broken) God’s breath inside my lungs Heavy as a stone I could give it back tonight And never be alone But I won’t waste it I refuse to waste it I will not waste God’s breath Outro (Music falls away to just the drone and a close, tired voice) I am still awake. This breath is still mine. I will not give it back.
