Lyrics
Trying Not to Breathe
Morphine in my veins
Stopping me from thinking clearly
For a moment I drift into peace
Something’s wrong
I don’t know what it is
As the drugs wear thin
The horrors and the heartbreak
Take over every cell in me
A loss so great
I can’t believe
My chest falls and rises
Against my wishes
I am trying not to breathe
Trying not to breathe
Blood on the covers
The stain is growing
In my state I mistake it for art
Then I see
It’s a piece of my heart
My chest falls and rises
Against my wishes
I am trying not to breathe
Trying not to breathe
Drifting back under
Soon to sleep
A dream awaiting
Promises to keep
Me from despair
We can all live there
I won’t need to breathe
My chest falls and rises
Against my wishes
I am trying not to breathe
Trying not to breathe
