□ The Air In Me

Are we reaching out for something
More than who we were and what we've been?
And our insides cringe just like the rusty
Hinges of the chest I buried
Having faith in someone else

I reach for something not there
I'd die to even know if you care
But my shortness of breath says I'm halfway there
Tell me what happens next

Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away
It's not the same anymore
My heart's astray and I adore you
Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away
Know I can't change anymore
You know I tried, I assure you

Are we reaching out for something
More than what we felt sink into our skin?
And outside the sight of our brittle mind is
A greater hope that on our own
We won't wear thin
We won't wear thin

Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away
It's not the same anymore
My heart's astray and I adore you
Say I'm not the only thing that pushed you away
Know I can't change anymore
You know I tried, I assure you

Well, I've heard what's real takes time to heal
The words that cut so deep
And every burden felt has slowly dealt me shaking hands
It's hard to keep that grip that's got a hold of me
From dragging me down underneath
Why won't you let me-
Why won't you let me breathe?

Take the air out of me, give it to someone more deserving
Castaways are souls to stay, lives unnerving
