So much pressure being weighed
And I am trying not to cave
Collapsing to expectations
Of an anti-dream’s display
I try to dig out from this grave
Under roads that have been paved
Hoping for a breakthrough
Just to see the light of day

So I may finally get some air
Let my life get its repair
Feel my lungs expanding
As I gain freedom from the snare
For I once was bound, caught in err
Trapped and chained within despair
Held, claustrophobic
Hyperventilating fear

Gasping out for a breath
Yet all I tasted was regret
Drowning in the waters
As emotions drew its depths
All gravity held in check
I was suspended and beset
That I scarcely had a will to live
And it drew me to forget

How easily my eyes were blind
How effortless, betrayed the mind
To show me all alone
As though my heart could be...
