John Reuben - Breathe Lyrics

Breathe in, breathe out
I'm tired of holding my breath

It's been a while since I've seen this side surface
Feeling far from home and distant from purpose
Worthless this earth is, I wished to vanish from it
Is it pointless or am I too stupid to take advantage of it?

Isn't life more valuable than just existing?
And aren't dreams more valid than just simple wishing
Force myself to listen, sit in the silent golden
As it may be at times, it feels violent

But I'll be patient and wait for your calm to come
Even though I get anxious and feel the urge to run
For I know where my strength comes from
Even though I get anxious and feel the urge to run

Breathe in, breathe out
I'm tired of holding my breath

Sometimes you feel like no one can stop you
And other times you feel like you have nothing to offer
Like right now I might be scared to death of death
And tomorrow I won't even care about my next breath

Left in the dark, mad I can't see somewhere
Between pride and apathy
And I continue on and press past the chaos
I feel I just wish for one moment
It would all stand still

For real I wish the world would just stop
And let me catch my breath
Return to that place of child like rest
In attempts to gain more sometimes you come up less

It's got me wanting to get away I guess
We're all looking for a place of simplicity
But it's a complex world
And you can't hide from it's activity

But it sure would be nice
To leave the world around
So I run towards the sun
To shed the earth that surrounds

Breathe in, breathe out
I'm tired of holding my breath
