Escape from the past that was stolen

And all Your toxic fumes inhaled

The scapegoat of angels who've fallen

But my soul is not for sale

Even though you tore me up, left me with sores and blood, I was suffering

You could never break my will, it made me stronger still, I was smothering

I can't breathe

Spent my whole life living underground

Foot on my back, trying to keep me down

Come too far to turn back now

I am not afraid

I will keep the faith

Never back down till my dying day

Staring death straight in the face

I am not afraid

My life, my heart, my soul, I'm not afraid

My breath, my blood, my all, I'm not afraid

You thought you would always control me

You clipped my wings, my dreams in two

I guess that you don't even know me

'Cause I'll never be like you

And even though the threat is real

My backbones made of steel—I'm fine suffering

And when the pressure's in my face

I'll never bow or break cause I'm not afraid

I can't breathe

Spent my whole life living underground

Foot on my back, trying to keep me down

Come too far to turn back now

I am not afraid

I will keep the faith

Never back down till my dying day

Staring death straight in the face

I can't breathe

Suffering

I can't breathe

Spent my whole life living underground

Foot on my back, trying to keep me down

Come too far to turn back now

I am not afraid

I will keep the faith

Never back down till my dying day

Staring death straight in the face

I am not afraid

My life, my heart, my soul, I'm not afraid

My breath, my blood, my all, I'm not afraid

I can't breathe

Suffering

I can't breathe
