Room to Breathe

If I pull down the drapes and lay blame at my door
I’ll sit here in silence, face flushed to the floor
I know it won’t end well, I’ve seen all my endings before

I admit I’m afraid but afraid to admit
That I’m climbing the walls while I quietly sit
And inhale a silence that has no good air left in it, it’s stagnant

So I dream of a world that doesn’t exist, yet one I can plainly see
I crawl inside and take a deep breath; finally some room to breathe
I might not ever leave

I sit like an ember in a fire that’s died
A smoldering ash, the faintest of light
But it’s that last glimmer that keeps me alive tonight

Time to get moving while I still have some time
It’s the eve of destruction, or at least of mine
I may be burned-out but there’s still something burning inside, there’s a little light that says

Dream of a world that doesn’t exist, yet one you can plainly see
Crawl inside and take a deep breath, finally some room to breathe
I might not ever leave

I found a room to breathe
I found a room to breathe
