While I'm Still Breathing

Run through the darkness

Lose all control

We're growing older

But I'm feeling so small

You make me so dizzy

I'll faint and I'll fall

Give me an answer

Or don't even try to call



I don't know what I'm doing

Running in circles so big

Wasting a minute

Or maybe a year

I'm fearful of fear now

I've lost all control

In a city so big

Oh, how I feel so small



Kill me while I'm still breathing

I want to see your face

A smiling impression

Before I come to my fate

A death without bleeding

I'm already gone

Kill me while I'm breathing

Memories gone so young

This one is almost completely metaphorical.  I jsut got to thinking about the last few days and what I have done...the people I miss...friends I've lost...ect.

I love you! I miss you! This death you feel, isn't really death, it's called life...big cities allow you to live...so embrace this "death", it's a new beginning, you finally can be who you are inside, no mask, no pretend, there are no conformities in the new place you're in.(just the ghetto gangstas! hehe) So just be yourself, forget this god forsaken town and move on with life. Let memories subside in your heart, but forget that the world puts on expectations for a performance. You're not on stage any more, your backstage so be yourself. :) I love you!
