Breathe in breathe out

"Breathe In, Breathe Out"

(Verse 1)

Twenty years gone, like a flicker of light,

Trapped in my mind, never felt quite right.

Bipolar waves crashing over my soul,

Up then I’m down, spinning out of control.

Doctors got their papers, scribbled my fate,

Said I’d be trapped in this never-ending state.

Disability chains wrapped tight around,

Don’t know if I’m lost, or if I’ve ever been found.

(Chorus)

Breathe in, breathe out, but it’s harder now,

Locked inside these walls, can’t figure how.

Time’s ticking down, trial’s on the way,

Might not see the light for another day.

Breathe in, breathe out, but it’s fading fast,

Don’t know how long I can make it last.

(Verse 2)

Pills in the morning, pills at night,

Still I’m stuck in this endless fight.

World keeps spinning, but I stay still,

Prison bars waiting, against my will.

Told me I’m broken, told me I’m gone,

But I’ve been like this for so damn long.

Don’t get out, don’t feel alive,

Just counting days, waiting to survive.

(Chorus)

Breathe in, breathe out, but it’s harder now,

Locked inside these walls, can’t figure how.

Time’s ticking down, trial’s on the way,

Might not see the light for another day.

Breathe in, breathe out, but it’s fading fast,

Don’t know how long I can make it last.

(Bridge)

Cell doors close, and I’m losing hope,

Can’t break free from this tightening rope.

Twenty years I’ve been holding on,

But the weight feels too strong.

(Outro)

Breathe in, breathe out, one last time,

Waiting for my sentence, for my crime.

Disabled mind, trapped in the past,

How much longer can I last?

Breathe in, breathe out, it’s all I can do,

Waiting for the day they see me through.
