Another Breath

We're taken alive Holding on to a shallow wall Shaking off the will to die alone Tied and tethered down We scratch out the eyes of our demons in the darkest rooms On the way to hell and back too soon Trying to keep from dropping down I must own everything you bred in me I must own everything I've come to be You'd think I'd know how to keep from dropping down Stay low until collected Get upright when all is rejected Another breath, another step to get out I can't depend on my mind Can't depend on sleepless nights too far away from a loved one's light It's hard to keep from dropping down I must own everything you've bred in me I must own everything I've come to be You'd think I'd know how to keep from dropping down Stay low until collected Get upright when all is rejected Another breath, another step to get out I don't know when this darkness hollowed me I awoke scattered deep in dust I don't know when this blackout swallowed me I don't know why I have this blood Damn the toll it takes Stay low until collected Get upright when all is rejected Another breath, another step to get out
