Iron Lung

Breathing through the pressure
Like the air is turning thin
Every step I'm taking
Feels like sinking deeper in

Every voice around me
Says the climb is worth the fall
But the higher that I reach
The harder that I crawl

I'm breathing through an iron lung
Fighting just to stay awake
Every second dragging on
Every breath a weight to take
If the sky is closing in
If the light begins to fade
I will keep the fire alive
Even while I suffocate

Every door is shifting
Every line begins to blur
Every truth they promised
Isn't anything I heard

Still the ground is shaking
Still the tension pulls me tight
Like the world is holding back
Everything I tried to fight

I'm breathing through an iron lung
Fighting just to stay awake
Every second dragging on
Every breath a weight to take
If the sky is closing in
If the light begins to fade
I will keep the fire alive
Even while I suffocate

Hold the line
Hold the flame
Even when the air is gone
I remain

I'm breathing through an iron lung
Fighting just to stay awake
Every second dragging on
Every breath a weight to take
If the sky is closing in
If the light begins to fade
I will keep the fire alive
Even while I suffocate
