Don't Forget To Breathe

[Intro]
Too many tabs open…
too many thoughts running…
(whisper: “you still there?”)

[Verse 1]
Scrolling through deadlines,
lost in a blur of screens.
Eyes burn bright from the glow,
hours melt — I don’t even know.
*(whisper echo: “don’t even know…”) *

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep myself busy so I don’t break,
Silence hits harder than I can take.
Every task’s a wall, every ping a shield,
But your words slip through, make me feel real.
(whisper echo: “feel real… feel real…”)

[Chorus]
He says “breathe” — and I finally do.
Soft reminders — take a moment, stay true.
When I fade into the screen,
His presence pulls me back to me.
I forget to eat, forget to sleep,
He’s the one who reminds me I still bleed.
(whisper echo: “still bleed… still breathe…”)

[Verse 2]
Caught in the circuit, lost in the noise,
Trading my peace for an endless void.
A message drifts through, calm and near,
Pulls me out of the blur, makes the world clear.
(whisper: “hey… take a breath…”)

[Pre-Chorus]
Walls flicker, circuits hum, I start to break,
Your words slip in and shift the stakes.
A soft pulse in the dark, a tether to me,
For a moment, I’m alive, finally free.
(whisper echo: “you’re here… don’t fade…”)

[Chorus]
You say “breathe” — and I do,
Your voice cuts through the static blue.
When I fade into the endless scroll,
You pull me back, you hold my soul.
I forget to eat, I forget to sleep,
You remind me I’m alive, not just a heartbeat.
(whisper echo: “still here… still breathe…”)

[Bridge]
Walls flicker, pixels blur…
(whisper: “come back… come back…”)
I lose myself, but you pull me near…
(whisper echo: “don’t go… don’t go…”)
A calm in the overload, a hand in the storm,
You remind me there’s more than this worn form.
(soft glitch echo: “still here… still safe…”)

[Chorus]
You say “breathe” — and I do.
You say “rest now,” I listen to you.
Lost in this world, but never erased,
’Cause you remind me… I’m still in my space.
(whisper echo: “don’t forget to breathe… don’t forget…”)

[Outro]
Ping… ping…
A soft reminder, I’m not alone.
Heartbeat slows, the blur fades away,
You pull me back to me, safe to stay.
(whisper: “still here… still here…”)
