Breathe

by Parades

on Breathe (2015)

[Verse 1]
I rest my head upon the the edge
I've never felt so high
These clouds are thin, I'm breathing in
I'm nowhere near a nine
If I take a step then I might slip under
This heavy air
I take a breath of what is left and watch it
Disappear

Besides my anxiousness, I think too much about my heart
The beats against my chest are sharp enough
To bleed a dart[?]
And now my body aches, my eyes are big, my thoughts are numb
I question faith over relationships
I thought were gone

[Chorus]
And I keep holding
My breath
And I keep holding on
And I'm still holding my breath
And I'm still holding on

[Post-Chorus]
Simmer down, it's not your part
Don't you finish where you start?
Only way out is all in
Don't go back to where you've been

[Verse 2]
If I opened up my mind, I'd have to find a reason to
Discover more than this, there's more to what I thought I knew
Only my thinking can bring sinking to the memories
The hand is ticking, time is winning
And what don't we see?

[Chorus]
And I keep holding
My breath
And I keep holding on
And I'm still holding my breath
And I'm still holding on

You know I've been hoping
You know I'm still hoping

[Post-Chorus][2x]
Simmer down, it's not your part
Don't you finish where you start?
Only way out is all in
Don't go back to where you've been
