If I was standing on the edge of the atmosphere
And I only had one breath left
I would inhale it so deeply
Till my lungs burst in my chest
I would feel my body cringe
From pleasure and also pain
For that breath represents you in my life
Something I lost that I wanted to remain
Something that once helped me live
But now it is the reason I shall die
For you slowly weakened me
Held hostage by your love and my denial
But still when I’m given a choice
Each time I choose to breath
For you was once my life-force
But now you make it hard to breathe
No more pleasant dreams
Nothing but heartbreak in the air
For happiness use to float about
But now we live in this venomous atmosphere
