I can't breathe
Body won't listen lungs locked tight
Lights get loud the world goes white
Panic hums like static inside
Nights I wake up countin heartbeats
Prayin they don't skip again
Doctor say it's nerves and wires
I say it's the weight of men
Pills on the counter side effects blur
Mind in static body unsure
You ever fear sleep like it's sin
Afraid you'll drift and not come back in
Every breath I take I pay in pain
Lungs full of thunder heart full of rain
Still thank God when I open my eyes
Guess the cost of breath means I'm still alive
Ambulance lights in my rear view mind
Wife holdin fear she can't define
Kids asleep they don't see
Daddy fightin just to breathe
I choke on silence swallow pride
Faith and science always collide
I don't need pity I need rest
A moment where my chest ain't a test
They say breath is free
But they never paid in panic
Never drowned awake
Beggin for the air to come back
Every breath I take I pay in pain
Lungs full of thunder heart full of rain
Still thank God when I open my eyes
Guess the cost of breath means I'm still alive
Like comin up from under the water
First time breathin every time
