Breathe, Desperately
Breathe, Desperately: Unveiling the Complex Tapestry of Self-Reflection
Lyrics
I was once a quiet boy
I used to be a quiet boy
Cleaning out my wounds but I
Cleansing my wounds, but
Never could keep my mouth shut
Struggling to keep silent
When I needed to
Especially when necessary
I could try to pry it loose
Attempting to loosen something
But the stone won't move
The effort is futile
And I wanna try to rip it out
Wanting to remove it forcefully
But I've grown to love this thing too much
But attached to it emotionally
Have I become the man that I hated once,
Questioning if I've become my hated self
Or have my thoughts become clouded
Wondering if my thoughts are clouded
by things I used to fear the most?
By fears from the past
And is my heart full of the ashes I heard about?
Is my heart filled with ashes?
Have I become the missing person
Am I the missing person everyone forgets?
I've been trying to get you all to forget?
(Baby don't lie now, baby don't lie now
(Baby, don't lie, cover your eyes)
Baby don't lie now, cover your eyes now)
We breathe so desperately
We don't care if it's not honest
As if it's the only thing we need
We're damaging our lungs
And we don't care if it's not
Indifferent to the consequences
Breathing honestly
We're burning our lungs with it
Breathing tastes like medicine
And we don't care
Overwhelming days are inescapable
We don't care at all
We don't care
When you breathe the air
Alone, foolish thoughts arise
It tastes like medicine
The air's taste is medicinal
And overwhelming days
Challenging days can't be concealed
are nothing that I can't hide
When you walk alone you think such foolish things
Walking alone leads to foolish contemplation
And so disappointed we are
Disappointed with no love around
with no one around to love
(Baby don't lie now, baby don't lie now,
-Baby don't lie now, cover your eyes now)
-We breathe so desperately
As if it's our only need
As if it's the only thing we need
We don't care if it's not honest
And we don't care if it's not
We're damaging our lungs
Breathing honestly
Indifferent to the consequences
We're burning our lungs with it
And we don't care
We don't care
We don't care at all
