i cannot breathe

where does life begin

i see the way your smile spins

i tried to see what it did to me

but nothing helped my path

i wake up and wait to see

what my days and body brings

but i am stuck

i cannot breathe

i wanted this so i could play my part

but doubt and reason rip me apart

faces of a crystal glass gleam together

but you can still tell them apart

what if i could break that mold

be so bold?

what if i could think an actual thought

i wanted this to help me think

set in my skin a healthy chink

but what if it just weighed me down

what if i don't know how

i needed this to help me breathe

but the more i feel

the more i think

i just want to do

wait and see

where do the people go

lost in problems to big for the world to know

how could someone break that mold

i will never be content

living the same life

as the people before me

never be content with the things that bore me

but still i feel

and with it i still believe

that i could live

i could still breathe

i wanted this

i needed you

but until then

i cannot move

i cannot breathe
