Another oldie. We are not alone. We all feel depressed sometimes, like no one understands us and like we hurt worse than anyone. I hate to say it but it’s just not true. We all go through EXACTLY the same things in life. The only difference is how we react to them. Even 3 years after I have written...
[Verse 1]
Starving, searching this barren wasteland
Trying to grasp being this alone
Pleading for a breath of fresh air, someone's standing on my chest
Dying I'm asphyxiating myself
(I kill myself)
[Chorus]
Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone
Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words
The lights are on and I wish I was home
[Chorus]
Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words
Oh I'm drowning and I feel so alone
Break myself, slave to my weakness, choke on my words
The lights are on and I wish I was home
[Verse 2]
My lips are screaming pretty nothings
My ears are bleeding for want of words
(Fuck words I need actions)
Hope has left me fucking shattered
Someone's standing on my chest
Alone would be a pleasant change from here
[Bridge]
Go!
How do you gauge loneliness?
How do you gauge loneliness?
How do you gauge loneliness?
Have you ever felt so alone?
[Verse 3]
It feels like the light will never reach me here
I am choking back my longing for shed tears
So strangulated by my lonesome fears
Please don't worry too much
It only hurts when I breathe
[Outro]
This only hurts every time I breathe (When I breathe)
It only hurts when I breathe
