Prompt / Lyrics
(Verse 1) I open my eyes, dark blue, I'm sorounded by blue The room filled up, quietly, while I was sleeping too No warning, just unsettling pressure that grew Now, I’m kicking for the light that I once knew Trying to scream, but the sound stays inside Bubbles rising up like the feelings I hide (Pre-chorus) Runnin, yeah, runnin out of air Can you see it, can you feel it? An exhausted stare (Chorus) It's like I’m trying to breathe underwater Learning how my lungs weren’t made for this And it hurts when nobody notices that I don’t exist I’m drowning in silence, yeah, begging for air If you saw me sinking, would you take the chance Or would you keep floating by, like I’m not even there? (Verse 2) My mind is a cage, the key, it's made of lead Every thought is a stone, it keeps hitting my head I count to ten, but I’m still not ahead Just deeper in dark, all the things left unsaid Yeah, down here, the colors all run out of time The quiet gets louder, yeah louder every night (Pre-chorus) Runnin, yeah, runnin out of air Can you see it, can you feel it? An exhausted stare (Chorus) It's like I’m trying to breathe underwater Learning how my lungs weren’t made for this And it hurts when nobody notices that I don’t exist I’m drowning in silence, yeah, begging for air If you saw me sinking, would you take the chance Or would you keep floating by, like I’m not even there? (Bridge) Was I born with these weights on my feet? Used to float so easy, used to feel so free Now, every heartbeat I'm trying to flee From the ocean that's taking over me (Final Chorus) Now, I'm learning to breathe underwater Maybe one day I’ll stop needing the air But I’ll keep on kicking, I’ll keep kicking slow Till the pressure feels normal, until I let go Learning to live, YEAHHHHHHHH where the light won’t go (Outro) If you ever start to feel the water rise too There’s someone down here waiting for you We don’t have to drown, we just haven’t learned how To breathe underwater, yeah, maybe the time is now
