[Intro]
And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff
They got the green valleys and were like, "The rest of you?
Y'all scrats get sand" and that's when they made the laws, y'see
Once the strong guys got it how they liked it
They said, "This is fair now, this is the law"
[Chorus]
I saw myself break away
You wouldn't know about it
I felt the sweat on my face
It held me when no one else did
Why do I love her, when I've been falling under
Alive, but barely breathing in
[Verse]
Gassed up on a fuel, let it rise
Step inside my shoes, even you would scrutinize
Every shadow, it would straddle underneath my fucking eyes
I'm not a winner in a battle, just a being getting by
While I pick apart the patterns of the sun, and how to rise
I should've been madder at their petty little lies
But I'm saving darker matter for the day, I lose my mind
God knows what I know, so I keep a wide stride
But that shit ain't gonna fly
Duck, run, then I hide
I've been wondering if I, walked into my own demise
Would you care or even try, to reach out to my cries
I ain't been very wise, but I'll wait till you arrive
I've sat so still that I'm fucking going numb
Being stuck at the bottom is crushing my lungs
Pressure-embedded, it's what I've become
I feel the tension when deities hum
[Bridge]
What a wait, what a waste
Like is it over yet?
I hold my breath from time to time
To time, to time, to time, to time, to time, to time, to time
[Chorus]
I saw myself break away
You wouldn't know about it
I felt the sweat on my face
It held me when no one else did
Why do I love her, when I've been falling under
Alive, but barely breathing in
[Refrain]
Barely breathing in, barely breathing in
(I'm barely, I'm barley, I'm barley, I'm barley)
(I'm barely, I'm barley, I'm barley, I'm barley)
I'm barely breathing, breathing
Bre-bre-breathing in
[Outro]
Once again I've detached
I wanna know where I'm at
Oh, I wanna know where I'm at
Yeah, yeah
I wanna know where I'm at, I wanna know where I'm at
Yeah, yeah
I wanna know where I'm at
