lyrics

Let me breathe in life and corner its boundaries
I’m just a man that wants to be free
So subtle, the details and the little things, they keep me going
What’s the value in life when there’s no life to live?

Just release the tension and the pressure around you
It’s just a moment now i promise it will ease you
Your spirit is born to be burdened
It’s all a game
It’s all in your head

These passions are not of my own control
I just want you to embrace the life you live
i understand you’ve fought your battles
You did everything you could to cover up those scars

Let that smile stab you right to the core
"Anything to help them carry on."

Deep sighs and sleepless nights
Forever convinced you’re a better man
Breathe in
Breathe out
It’s not the end

I know those tears have insight
You’re not the only one
Tightened skin, a voice to never be heard
Breathe in
Breathe out
That smile is gone and for what it’s worth

It is worthless to a man that neglects his own happiness
But that’s alright, that’s just fine
We turn our backs and
Release the tension and the pressure around you
It’s just a moment now i promise it will ease you
Your spirit is born to be burdened
It’s all a game that nobody wins
Nobody wins
