Last Breath

A damp and muggy world greets me Mirroring the oppression in my mind It feels like this will always be all I know It feels like this will always be all I breathe Forget this hair, these boots and these tattoos If my heart hurts, I'm going to tell you And I can barely stand to comprehend The thought of your last breath 5 years gone away as I wake up today Half a decade of life blessed by you My life landmarked by unwarranted pain Your name etched in stone too soon Crimson blaspheme defines me I'm always trapped in karma's darker side I'm drifting between death and reveille A paradox of freedom and captivity I'm testing everything tonight I'm racing through every yellow light I question everything that I can't feel And right now, I can't feel you Oh, I can't feel you And I can barely stand to comprehend The thought of your last breath Resign yourself to flying With my voice beneath your wings Combine our cells, nefarious Mutant vibrant everlastings And I don't fear death But I'd rather you didn't have to Death gives life its meaning But I, would rather trust you And I can barely stand to comprehend The thought of your last breath
