Can't Breathe

[Verse]
Air feels heavy like a stone on my chest
Every word I try is a failed test
Sky’s so blue but I’m seeing grey
I can’t breathe I can’t find a way
[Chorus]
I can’t breathe when the world’s this loud
I can’t breathe when I’m lost in the crowd
Every step feels like I’m sinking deep
I can’t breathe I can’t even sleep
[Verse 2]
Shadows stretch long they’re holding me tight
Every corner steals a piece of my light
I reach for a hand but find empty space
I can’t breathe in this endless chase
[Bridge]
Echoes scream my name in the dark
They light no flame they leave no spark
I’m running circles no end no start
I can’t breathe it’s breaking my heart
[Chorus]
I can’t breathe when the world’s this loud
I can’t breathe when I’m lost in the crowd
Every step feels like I’m sinking deep
I can’t breathe I can’t even sleep
[Outro]
I need the air to feel alive
But it’s slipping fast like a shallow dive
I can’t breathe no I can’t see
I just need someone to set me free
