Lyrics

oxygen

My brain caving in

Losing oxygen

Don't know where I been

Gotta get out of my skin

My time's running out

I don't know when

The sky is falling down

Ocean wash away my sins

Ocean wash away my sins

Memories I need to forget

My mind is my biggest threat

Can't keep up, need to catch my breath

Need a break, feeling so stressed

Take my pain, be my guest

This life's a test

Need to get out of this mess

Too much I need to confess

Bad things I do, I regret

Oh I regret, I regret

Need to get out of this mess

My brain caving in

Losing oxygen

Don't know where I been

Gotta get out of my skin

My time's running out

I don't know when

The sky is falling down

Ocean wash away my sins

Ocеan wash away my sins
