When I Inhale Death And Exhale Life

“When I Inhale Death Exhale Life”

Why is it every time I breathe 
Something is taken away from me 
Broken and scared
My heart is beaten and charred
By the fire that has consumed every spark

My mind is a gate that is always open
For the empty masses of the broken
My limbs are full of blood 
By veins are drenched but never filled 
Like a sick pun

I look for something to save me
But death is all but forgiving 
And life is full of remembering
There is no reminisce of salvation for me

Forging the pain to the bottom of my feet
Til I'm filled to the top and can barely breathe
Is there anyone that can take this from me
Anyone that can set me free

Lust for forgiveness is everywhere I turn
And fear of failure is the sanctuary where I burn
To where hell seems to be a light in my darkness
And I set myself apart so no one is a part of this

I look for something to save me
But death is all but forgiving 
And life is full of remembering
There is no reminisce of salvation for me

The world rises above and looks down to mock
Does it ever stop ticking of that God damn clock
Forgive me I might have came off as mentally strong 
But my walls of fortitude are crashing down to prove you that I'm wrong

I see in the distance a dim cruel light
Haunting me of a new day but I'm lost in the night
I've been building a life of fake will and pride
And my reality is under a rock where the rest of me hides

I look for something to save me
But death is all but forgiving 
And life is full of remembering
There is no reminisce of salvation for me

I stand on the cliff edge of life
But death harnesses me every time I try to dive
Love is measured by how much you think you deserve
But every single time I try I feel out of place like a perve

As I Inhale death exhale life

Shunned by a foundation of stability
I'm blinded guilt like a god forsaken tragedy
I stand in the hope of a tomorrow 
And pinned down debt that I've borrowed

I look for some thing to save me
But death is all but forgiving 
And life is full of remembering
There is no reminisce of salvation for me

I pray to you God please hear me
I can feel my chest my heart beating
And my brain is working I feel this invite pain still stinging
Please take it, take me, set me free!
