[Verse 1] Clock on the wall keeps laughing at me Same stained ceiling Same old ceiling thoughts Every little failure etched in my teeth Chewing on the words that say I'm lost Tiny little voices digging for a vein Calling me a burden A waste A lie Shaking in the dark Gripping at the frame Staring down the window Daring the sky [Pre-Chorus] They say "jump" and they say "quit" I taste rust I clench my fists One more lie they won't be stealing I bite back I start screaming [Chorus] Don't stop breathing Even when your hands keep shaking Don't stop breathing Even when your heart feels vacant I know the shadows circle tight But I won't end myself tonight Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop breathing [Verse 2] Mirror on the door shows a ghost in my place Blue-black circles Eyes drained dry Every stupid memory screaming in my face Playing every moment I didn't even try They write my name like it's already a stone Whisper "no one cares if you disappear" I press my nails until I hit bone One more second I keep myself here [Pre-Chorus] They say "fall You've got no worth" I taste dust I own this hurt If I'm broken I'm still bleeding If I'm bleeding I'm still breathing (yeah) [Chorus] Don't stop breathing Even when your chest feels heavy Don't stop breathing Even when your pulse comes unsteady I hear the darkness dare me twice But I won't pay that final price Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop breathing [Bridge] [Half-time Drums thunder Guitar feedback] I'm not your victim I'm not your prize You don't get my body You don't get my life You can claw my mind Till I'm raw and weak But you don't get tonight You don't get this heartbeat (hey!) [Chorus] Don't stop breathing Even when your hope is bleeding Don't stop breathing Every drag of air's worth keeping I feel the poison in my mind But I hold the line tonight Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop breathing [Chorus] Don't stop breathing Say it till the doubt starts breaking Don't stop breathing Every broken soul is sacred I hear the darkness bark and bite But it doesn't own my life Don't stop Don't stop Don't stop breathing (I won't end myself tonight) Don't stop breathing

rock, 80s hard rock anthem with male vocals, saturated guitars in dropped tuning, big gated snares, and a grinding mid-tempo groove. Verses stay tense with palm-muted riffs and bass stalking the root; pre-chorus climbs with toms and open chords; chorus explodes into wide power chords, stacked gang vocals, and sustained lead guitar bends. Bridge pulls back to half-time drums and a melodic solo that swells into a final, defiant chorus., hard rock
