Can't Breathe

Air feels heavy like a stone on my chest

Every word I try is a failed test

Sky’s so blue but I’m seeing grey

I can’t breathe I can’t find a way

I can’t breathe when the world’s this loud

I can’t breathe when I’m lost in the crowd

Every step feels like I’m sinking deep

I can’t breathe I can’t even sleep

Shadows stretch long they’re holding me tight

Every corner steals a piece of my light

I reach for a hand but find empty space

I can’t breathe in this endless chase

Echoes scream my name in the dark

They light no flame they leave no spark

I’m running circles no end no start

I can’t breathe it’s breaking my heart

I can’t breathe when the world’s this loud

I can’t breathe when I’m lost in the crowd

Every step feels like I’m sinking deep

I can’t breathe I can’t even sleep

I need the air to feel alive

But it’s slipping fast like a shallow dive

I can’t breathe no I can’t see

I just need someone to set me free
