Breathing

I'm wide awake but I'm paralyzed
I look up and the sky's caving in
I can't escape it, I close my eyes
I'm waiting for the end to begin

I know that I can't take control but here I go again
'Cause I can't leave it up to chance
I might try to take control
Hold my breath and count to ten
But the ground is shaking, hard to pretend

One by one the numbers change, and you got the feeling
Can't get out you're suffocating now, got to keep on breathing
Keep on breathing

I try to fake it, I fantasize
But all I start to feel is regret
What could I say, could I compromise
To keep us hanging on by a thread

I know that I can't take control but here I go again
'Cause I can't leave it up to chance
I might try to take control
Hold my breath and count to ten
But the ground is shaking, hard to pretend

One by one the numbers change, and you got the feeling
Can't get out you're suffocating now, got to keep on breathing
Keep on breathing
Keep on breathing
Keep on breathing
Keep on breathing

Keep on breathing
Keep on breathing

I take a breath, I turn around, waiting
Should know by now, there's nothing worth saving
My feet are set, I feel the ground shaking
I take a breath, I feel the time fading

One by one the numbers change, and you got the feeling
Can't get out you're suffocating now, got to keep on breathing
Keep on breathing

Can't get out you're suffocating now
