That trails me in my every step
I’m moving quick
But you’re always on my heels

Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, my knees are weak
My heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
My heart is sturdy but it needs you

Breathe
Don’t you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream
There’s nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross that line
Will you carry me there one more time?

Steady lungs don’t fail me now
I feel you bursting
But you won’t let me die

Build me up with every step
I’m feeling sick
But I’m leaving it behind.

Just one more breath, I beg you please
Just one more step, you are not weak
My legs are sturdy but they need you to survive
My heart is sturdy but I need you

Breathe
Don’t you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream
There’s nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross that line
Will you carry me there once more?

(Once more)

I have reason to believe
That I have victories to taste
I can feel them on my teeth
Upon my lips
And in my chest
I can roll them on my tongue
They are more supple than defeat
I feel the tension in my lungs,
And every move is fueled by my resolve to

Breathe
Don’t you want to breathe?
I know that you are strong enough to handle what I need

My capillaries scream
There’s nothing left to feed on
My body needs a reason to cross that line
Will you carry me there one more time?
