pain tangled up in my soul every single day

nothing seems to be able to make it go away

nothing can end the suffering and numb the pain

not asprin, not codine, not morphine, not novicane

looking into myself from the inside out this time

I know that somewhere there is happiness but it's not mine

my heart is desperate for something to make it alive again

something to make the suffering consuming me come to an end



chorus #1

why breathe

when the air around me is poisoned

why breathe

when in my head I hear these voices

why breathe

when I feel like this is all pretend

why breathe

why should I take another breath ever again



waking from hybernation, I have been sleeping for years

drying my eyes now that I have cried all of my tears

waiting for the right words so I can whisper a prayer

I wonder if God would really hear, is he really there

I'm searching for an answer, a reason to keep breathing

I'm reaching out for a God that I am desperately needing

if I keep living will it be worth what it took to stay alive

if I keep breathing will God give me what I need to survive

chorus



chorus 2

I will breathe

because he will be with me

I will breathe

because he'll give me what I need

I am hurting

but soon the pain will subside

and until it does

he'll be by my side

telling me

why I should breathe

I should breathe for him



it won't be easy but it never is

life is never always full of bliss

but when I climb this mountain I will see

that I have the will to live deep inside of me

chorus #2
