[Verse]
The weight of the world is on my spine
I carry the tears that aren't even mine
Hearts break loud but there's no sound
Still I suffocate in this battleground
Depth in my chest like weights won't lift
Look slow where the sunlight drifts
I’m drowning in air let my lungs release
Can’t fake this mask I wear—just let me breathe
[Chorus]
Let me breathe let me be
Cut these chains so I can see
Air is life but it feels so tight
Trapped in the dark reaching for light
Let me breathe let me feel the sky again
Drowning here every second wears thin
The pressure's crushing I can barely see
Please cut these chains and let me breathe
[Verse 2]
Your voice sharp like a glass blade
Lies surround like a cold cascade
The mirror shows someone I don't know
Fighting demons that refuse to go
Life’s a tightrope but I’m walking blind
Every step feels like I lose my mind
Thoughts so loud they won’t give me peace
The world’s too heavy now—let me breathe
[Bridge]
Heavy pain pressing down on my chest
I beg the clock to give me rest
But the rhythm keeps running I'm out of sync
Drowning in the air I can't even drink
I needed help but I push them away
Built walls so high like a self-made cage
Suffocating in the space I designed
Just one release I need a sign
[Chorus]
Let me breathe let me be
Cut these chains so I can see
Air is life but it feels so tight
Let me breathe let me feel the sky again
Drowning here every second wears thin
The pressure's crushing I can barely see
Please cut these chains and let me breathe
Trapped in the dark reaching for light
[Rap Section]
No mask no filter the truth's too raw
Every inhale's a battle every exhale's a war
Cages in my mind bars made of doubt
I scream for help but the voice drowns out
If I fall I hope there’s ground below
If I rise I’ll find a way to grow
Til then I’m gasping for life unseen
Set me free... just let me breathe
