Breathe

(picked up every night when no one knows

Take a breath and hold it, there she goes)



Verse 1:

I'm sittin' at the cusp, something big [?]

I've never been so gun-shy but I tempt [?]

There's no one holding me down and there's no one next to me

So if I take that leap now then I'm only testing me

It's Hopie again, I know of emotion but no one is holding the reins

No one to blame

Starin' so deep in my struggle I'm finally seein' my pain

Feelin' insane, leavin' the source of safety, the comfortin' them in my brain

Some'll just say if only my lyrics could write every thought, I got [?] through my veins

Weaker than chains, deep in the range, people I pay sit within range

Gone in a second, a flash, it's over and gone

And the fire divide my history past

My present alas is no one invited to see here to witness me fail

No one is cheering me on to make progress but left in my darkest of days

Callin' me names, pierce my pride

Shout it in vain, fear subside

Tears don't dare to fall from my eyes

I'm dead inside and I'm mad as f*ck

Not at the world but at myself

I've been through the wash, this isn't my hell

My name is Hope, they gave me the promise, that would be dishonor to let myself fail



Breathe

Just breathe



Verse 2:

So much I've been through

A million lives I lived through

I feel it inside but I would I would survive whatever could ensue

A pencil, an instrumental

My mind's so live and nimble

There's nothing I couldn't swim foo'

If I would just dive right in

And time and again [?] I would just test my life within my hands

And God is something I find along the lines between the rhymes again

Here come those lines again

Those doubts that criticize me and

Those doubts that pounce upon me calmly

Terrorize my mind again

The kind that send me running back

And I pivot on a dime and I press rewind

I'm making progressive then I digress so success ain't sh*t the way you define it

In the end I'm guessin' I'm tryin' just to stay afloat

And keep my spirits high enough to silence

The demons to pilot me to freedom

I puff on [?] if I'm Seagram's

Stay up at night, I write through seasons

I'm bleedin', behind my eyes my mind is playin' tricks

Makin' jokes at my expense

My pen's reflecting all of this



Breathe

Just breathe



(picked up every night when no one knows

Take a breath and hold it, there she goes)



Verse 3:

So while I'm lakin' in the valley

Shadows of death surround me

I take a breath, I'm counting seconds till the next

I fear no evil

Inhale, I been failed and I tailspin and I exhale all my past sins

No more asking for some leeway

I've been at dead ends of my last resort and still stay

I've been castaway and outcast and look past the day

I can't unmask my face

One day I'll grasp my fate

Yeah
