Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is this my last breath?
Is this my last breath?
Is this my last breath?
I can't breathe,
I'm choking on my own condescending words.
Answer me
Aren't you gonna answer me?
When I am crying out your name and I'm lost in shame.
Lead me on my way,
And give me words to say.
(words to say)
And I can't see
That I've lost my dreams,
Carry me, cause my heart is weak
Is this my last breath?
Is this my last breath?
I can't sleep
This world inside my head is run by my anxious thoughts
Give me peace
Will you bring me off my knees?
Aren't you gonna answer me?
When I am crying out your name and I'm lost in shame.
Lead me on my way,
And give me words to say.

Seeing Caleb mature has been awesome. remember when he was the chubby kid playing keys awkwardly in the corner? Now he's the badass frontman that screams and sings. I'm glad the band has lasted this long to see them all mature. I'm beyond excited for their new stuff.
