Breathe in, breathe out.
Caught after the exhale,
Not sure when I'll inhale.
Not sure if I'll sell out,
Or break out.
Caught red-handed with brick and blood,
Not sure if I'll break in
Or ride the flood.
Breathe in, breahte out.
Running a fever and burning the trail.
Not sure if I'm hot with anger
Or my heart's running hot.
Wait. Just inhale. Just inhale.
Breathe in, breathe out.
The truth is out there, inhale,
I feel the truth in me.
Caught running blind,
Not sure how I didn't trip.
I can see now, I can hear the lies
"I don't mind, I don't mind.
It's a natural slip."
Breathe in, breathe out.
Caught the rhythm of my heart
And what it wrought.
I've been here before, I've seen this before.
One heart beat will quench my lips,
I'll breathe again, in this I'm sure
It hurts more bitterly between breaths.
