Breathing Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deception so impure the world runs dry
I know this is just an equation I can't seem to simplify
Will I sink or swim? Under the pressure
Fight or just give in
It's now or never
I'm reaching for the sun, I'll take on everyone
This is all I've become
This is the final score
I'm wanting so much more, you make me at the call and leave me breathless
Should I feel lost and confusion?
Could I feel a fault inside, I know this is just an illusion I will not justify
Will I sink or swim?
Under the pressure
Fight or just give in its now or never
I'm reaching for the sun I'll take on everyone, this is all I've become
You leave me breathless!
This is the final score in wanting so much more, you make me at the call
You leave me BREATHLESS!!
I'm reaching for tomorrow(tomorrow)
I never will deny this
You grab attain and leave me
BREATHLESS The end
