Borrowed Air
With the weight of this world
Coming down on my spine
I'm clawing through the darkness
Just to prove I'm alive
LET ME BREATHE!
GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY THROAT!
I'M NOT READY TO GO!
If surviving means crawling
I'll crawl through the fire
BUT YOU'LL NEVER TAKE
THE FIGHT FROM INSIDE!
Bridge — Clean Grunge Vocal / Haunting Guitar
Maybe I'm damaged...
Maybe I'm scarred...
Maybe surviving
Was never supposed to be this hard...
I've lost pieces of myself
I know I'll never get back...
[Drums slowly build]
But if there's one fucking heartbeat left
I'M USING THAT!
ONE BREATH!
I'M STILL HERE!
ONE HEART!
I STILL FEEL!
ONE LIFE!
YOU DON'T GET TO TAKE IT!
I've been pushed to the edge
And I'm staring below
But there's something inside me
That refuses...
TO!
LET!
GO!
[Massive breakdown riff]I'M!
STILL!
FUCKING!
HERE!
Final Chorus
I'M FIGHTING JUST TO SURVIVE!
CRASHED INTO THE BOTTOM
BUT I CAME BACK ALIVE!
Let the weight of this world
Try to bury me tonight
I'll claw through the dirt
Till I crawl toward the light
NOW I BREATHE!
YOU CAN'T HOLD MY THROAT!
I'M NOT READY TO GO!
I survived every second
That was meant to destroy me
AND THERE'S STILL
SOME FUCKING FIGHT
LEFT INSIDE ME!
Outro
Breathe in...
I'm still here.
Breathe out...
I'm still fighting.
Survival isn't pretty.
BUT I'M ALIVE.
