Breathe - Xerathis

[Intro] [distorted guitar riff with syncopated palm muting] [double-kick drum pattern enters] [fry scream] Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! [Verse 1] [screamed vocals] I felt the weight of words you never said You built a hollow inside me Every promise fades to grey All I knew was lost in time I tried to drown it in the dark But every shadow leaves its mark I stitch my wounds with shattered pride You built a hollow deep inside [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals, driving drum beat] It's breaking out! (It's breaking out!) I let this sadness take control Why do I do this to myself? I won't stay buried in the past I'm breaking every chain at last Turn the sorrow into flame Write a burning sign on my face Life tears you down into the dirt Makes you bleed and makes it hurt But I swear I'll find a way Against the sound of a heart that won't die [Verse 2] [screamed vocals, technical guitar riffing] Knocked down, spit out, left in the cold Every scar a story untold I'll design my own escape Digging graves for words unsaid I let this sadness take control Now watch me! [Bridge] [half-time drum feel, heavy breakdown] Taking rage from the hole If this is all I'm meant to be I'll turn this pain to energy You try to break me, watch me bend But I won't fucking break again! [Chorus] [clean melodic vocals] I won't stay buried in the past I'm breaking every chain at last Turn the sorrow into flame Write a burning sign on my face Life tears you down into the dirt Makes you bleed and makes it hurt But I swear I'll find a way Against the sound of a heart that won't die [Outro] [screamed vocals] From ashes I still rise From nothing I still believe! [final guitar chord rings out]
