Breathe

I exist… ‘cause I breathe… Breathe… breathe… I exist ‘cause I breathe, feel the ground beneath my feet Staring in the mirror, see the same broken me No difference between us, just skin and shattered dreams We’re all chained to this planet, chasing silent screams Every heartbeat’s a reminder, every breath a fight Living in this illusion, but I’m wide awake at night We all have the same dream, to last a little longer here Want our children to feel the warmth, without a trace of fear I exist because I breathe! Breathing deep, chest wide open, pulling air into the pain This reality feels like a dream, but I’m not sleeping Only the ache inside my heart… it never fades away! Never fades away! We all chase the same hope, to live longer on this earth Every soul wants happiness, some peace, some sense of worth Not corrupted by the power, not poisoned by the gold One thing I ask from above let the kids feel what we hold Feel the dirt between their fingers, same ground that we know I exist because I breathe! Breathing deep, chest wide open, pulling air into the pain This reality feels like a dream, but I’m not sleeping Only the ache inside my heart… it never fades away! We’re all growing older… seeing the world in different shades… Years like anchors on a ship, dragging us through the waves… I’m still here! Because I breathe! Because I bleed! Because I scream! I exist because I breathe! Breathing deep, chest wide open, screaming air into the flame! This reality feels like a nightmare, but I refuse to sleep Only the pain inside my chest… it never… It never fades away! Never fades… never fades… I exist! ‘Cause I breathe! I exist…
