lyrics

so what is going to stop my
illuminating heart from beating
what is going to break my concentration and flow
who will tell me when i've had enough
who is willing to be in the know

as i look at the back of my sullen brain
i search for the genesis of my pain
i facilitate a war of love and hate
i beg for disaster to be fate

as i breathe in, my life is waiting for me
as i breathe in, my eyes shield what i've seen
as i relive every glimpse of my past
i breathe in every breath like it's my last

a sickly smile as it all implodes
a trial of fire an exemplary pose
an attempt at blessing this curse that i bare
a faded desire to blacken my stare

but then it all becomes light before the shadows can eclipse
there becomes a moment of nothing but bliss
we can live through this and thrive in what we miss
or we can fade into the darkness of this internal eclipse

as i breathe in, my life is waiting for me
as i breathe in, my eyes shield what i've seen
as i relive every glimpse of my past
i breathe in every breath like it's my last

I know I know I know to survive this
Every little thing has to be in my sight
I know I know I know to revive me
Every little thing has got to turn out right
I know I know I know to pacify me
Every little thing has to turn out right

as i breathe in, my life is waiting for me
as i breathe in, my eyes shield what i've seen
as i relive every glimpse of my past
i breathe in every breath like it's my last
