A Place to Breathe

+ Show full styles

[Verse 1] Sitting in class with the hum in my head, Trying to track every word that’s said. People around me look steady and sure, I’m stuck in a life I’m not built for anymore. Pages fill up with the things I “should know,” But my heart keeps pulling where my mind won’t go. Chasing invisible gold in a world so loud— Trying to stand tall just to blend with the crowd. [Pre-Chorus] And I keep pretending I’m fine— But the truth keeps breaking the line. [Chorus] I’m done waiting for answers to fall into place— Just trying to feel something real in my space. Every path feels borrowed, every choice feels staged— I’m still reaching for meaning that won’t come my way. Don’t want revelation deciding for me— Just a moment of calm Where I can breathe. [Verse 2] Some days I rise, but I don’t feel awake— Just a body moving through another mistake. I try on versions of who I could be, But none of them fit, and it’s tearing at me. Everyone says “you’ll find your place,” But they don’t feel the static underneath my face. I’m running in circles I didn’t design— A life that looks right but doesn’t feel like it’s mine. [Pre-Chorus] I keep rewriting the plan— Still don’t know where I stand. [Chorus] I’m done waiting for answers to fall into place— Just trying to feel something real in my space. Every path feels borrowed, every choice feels staged— I’m still reaching for meaning that won’t come my way. Don’t want revelation deciding for me— Just a moment of calm Where I can breathe. [Bridge] I’ve been running from the quiet ‘cause it knows my name, Scared the stillness might confess that I won’t be the same. But maybe breaking who I was is how the new gets made— Even if the light I’m chasing still feels like shade. [Drop to half-time, spoken and half sung] No map. No promise. Just a pull I can’t shake— Something in the dark saying, “Go on. Create.” [Final Chorus] I’m not waiting for an answer to finally make me whole, I’m just trying to hear the echo that’ll help me fill full. And if the road stays empty, if the signs never change— I'll keep digging through the chaos For a life I claim. [Outro - Spoken not sung] I don’t know where I’m heading… But I’m trying To find a place to breathe.
