Kid Victory - Breathe (feat. Antha Lee)

I feel like I can't breathe
So many days just seem
Like I'm waiting for a dream
Nothing's there because I can't breathe

It feels like I can't
Breathe
Remind me how to
Breathe
I still can't bloody
Breathe

He's feeling pressed from his job and a lack of rest
The massive frets are piling with stacks of debt
He's lacking friends so doesn't want to act depressed
Because he thinks no one'll like him if he's sad and stressed
So he spends most days in his room and he sinks into spirals
He's losing the light when he thinks
'Bout the dreams that he had 'till he weeps and he's mad
And he screams so loud at the dark then he drinks
Trying to feel some relief, just a little bit
'Cause he needs to believe there's a shimmering star
Hanging up in the dark and his target's to get there
At least when he's numb, well, he isn't feeling threadbare
So he clings to it
Cause the hollowness begins to have a ring to it
And a part of him just can't resist to sing to it
So his happy place becomes the influence and he wishes he could flee
From the wrongs he's made and this job he hates
But he's locked in the flaws of the thoughts he's raised
And he's haunted by all that he's lost these days
And it throbs, all he wants is a god damn break
But he knows that his negative mind makes it worse
So he tries to defy it and think of his worth
But he thinks that he's cursed 'cause he can't escape
The bad luck like a fate that he can't erase

Thought he'd hit his breaking point more than a month ago
But he's fighting for his life and clutching hope
Still it feels like each day's bloody touch and go
With his breath held, snared in the undertow
That's a dark place that he's sitting
And he's wishing for a change and a greater beginning
And he's at it, trying to sway the condition but it just won't cease
When it all seems lost, bring it back, just breathe

I feel like I can't breathe
So many days just seem like I'm waiting for a dream
To be there when I wake up but nothing's there because
I keep opening my eyes to the lies that I'm seeing
Why can't I keep dreaming?
Why am I not breathing?
I feel like I can't breathe

Just feels like I can't
Breathe
I feel like I can't
Feel like I can't breathe

She's feeling so strung out
Ever since her parents said to get the fuck out
She'd be on the streets if it wasn't for her chum's couch
But his dad keeps on asking why she isn't at her mom's house
And she doesn't want to answer that
Because she doesn't understand it quite herself
But she knows that all she'd need to do to clamber back into her bed
Is to lie and tell her mother that her mind's in better health
But she knows that she isn't sick
She can feel it in her bones like a scissor kick
And she's wishing she could show it to her folks in a way they'd understand
There's nothing wrong with two women becoming intimate
Well, guess they're not ready
If they were they would've called her already
And the chick her parents caught her with is texting her it's over
Cause they'll never work together while she's not steady
"Oh my god, line me up
"Put an end to everything that's piling up
"Tell me that it's over and light me up
"Cause I'm tired of waking hoping it might be done just to sink again
"Feeling scared to fucking blink again
"Cause every time my eyes open, something new falls off the brink again
"I can't even find the strength to fucking sing again
"With no love, living stings again"

She would write these things to nobody but a page
But despite these things, she would smile every day
She would fight these things, hoping they would go away
But at night, these things would smother her where she lay
And it's fucked that
She was receiving a beating from the girl
That she started seeing who was calling it a love tap
Now she's stuck back on the couch and it just won't cease
When it all seems lost, bring it back, just breathe

I feel like I can't breathe
So many days just seem like I'm waiting for a dream
To be there when I wake up but nothing's there because
I keep opening my eyes to the lies that I'm seeing
Why can't I keep dreaming?
Why am I not breathing?
I feel like I can't breathe

Just feels like I can't
Breathe
Remind me how to
Breathe
I still can't bloody
Breathe
Just feels like I can't
Breathe
Someone remind me how to
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
