Just Breathe

The city lights are spinning
Moving way too fast
The ceiling's closing in
I'm not looking at the past
They tell me: Take it easy
Try to let it go
But how do I do that when stop is a word I don't know?
The sky is getting heavy, I can't find the air
Searching for an exit, a way out of here
My mind is like a maze, I'm running in a cage
And the noise outside is screaming, turning every page

Somedays I feel like the world's gonna crush me down
Everything I built is shaking on the ground
They say: Get back in the game, you'll be alright
But they don't see the weight I'm carrying tonight

I just gotta keep on breathing, breathing, breathing
Even when the floor is pulling me in, breathing
I keep on breathing, breathing
I don't care what they say, I know what I feel
Trying to keep my focus on what's actually real
Just breathing

Checking to my feet
Watching time slip by
Everyone is smiling
No one hears my cry
Pressure in my chest
A knot inside my throat
Doubt wakes me up
Fear keeps me afloat

I try to find a beat, the rhythm in my feet
Remind me who I am so I don't face defeat
But it's hard to see the top through this heavy haze
It's a war inside, an adrenaline maze

Inhale, exhale
Leave the rest for later
The clock will never stop, but I can take a pause
Before I lose myself, I'll find a better cause

I just gotta keep on breathing, breathing, breathing
Even when the floor is pulling me in, breathing
I keep on breathing, breathing
I don't care what they say, I know what I feel
Trying to keep my focus on what's actually real
Just breathing

One step at a time
Breathing, breathing
I'm still standing here
I just need to
Breathing, breathing
Breathing

I just gotta keep on breathing, breathing, breathing
Even when the floor is pulling me in, breathing
I keep on breathing, breathing
Just breathing
I just gotta keep on breathing, breathing, breathing
Even when the floor is pulling me in, breathing
I keep on breathing, breathing
Just breathing
