Breathe

I am strong when I am quiet

I never let you see me stall

I can hate what you say and still smile

Only play on an open court

I am the ringleader of my own circle

Fall on my knees and I won't bleed

Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep

The pain of my scold sets me free

I cannot breathe, yeah

Let me be free from myself

Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating

I rip me apart with one look

Use my heart as a crutch for my ego

And hope that I never never fall in love

I cannot breathe, yeah

Let me be free from myself

I must survive

This wonderful punishment called life

Use my heart and unravel it

My innocence is all gone

Torn apart and I can't handle it

My innocence is all gone, gone

I cannot breathe, yeah

Let me be free from myself

I must survive

This wonderful punishment called life

This wonderful punishment called life
