[Intro] (whisper) Count to ten Tongue tastes rust Every breath Feels like dust [Verse 1] Teeth locked tight Bit down on the sunrise Nails in my palms So I don't unwind My lungs write letters That I never send Every shallow inhale Spells this has to end [Pre-Chorus] I am a riot Trapped in a ribcage Heartbeat stalling Like a stalled-out engine If there's a way out Carve it in my chest One word One word [Chorus] Breathe Even when the air cuts deep When the ceiling starts to sink And your name falls through your teeth Breathe On the floor On your knees When the dark begins to speak And your pulse forgets the beat Breathe Breathe Breathe [Verse 2] Jawbone jitters From the words I buried Hope feels heavy Like wet concrete I chase calm shadows Down a dead-end hallway Every slammed door echoes You are not too late [Pre-Chorus] I am the silence Right before the landslide I am the whisper Breaking into war cries (hey!) If there's a lifeline Tie it to my chest One word One word [Chorus] Breathe Even when the air cuts deep When the ceiling starts to sink And your name falls through your teeth Breathe On the floor On your knees When the dark begins to speak And your pulse forgets the beat Breathe Breathe Breathe [Bridge] (whisper) In Out In Drown it out [Bridge] [sudden stop] I tore my fear out Stitched it to the sky Screamed till the storm Started screaming back why If this is all pain Then pain is a key If this is my grave If this is all pain Then pain is a key If this is my grave I'll claw my way free (yeah) [Chorus] Breathe Even when the air cuts deep When the ceiling starts to sink And your name falls through your teeth Breathe On the floor On your knees When the dark begins to speak And your pulse forgets the beat Breathe Breathe Breathe [Outro] (whisper, close) Count to ten Let it ache You are more Than what might break Breathe
