Breathing
Magnolia Park Lyrics

I can't keep breathing, whoa-oh-oh
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed, like I can't go on.

My world is sinking
Everything around me is falling apart and getting worse.

You're leaving me out to dry
You're abandoning me and leaving me to deal with my struggles alone.

Do you ever feel alone?
Have you ever experienced the feeling of being isolated and without support?

Like the sky could come crashing down anytime now
Feeling like everything could go horribly wrong at any moment.

Like a tight grip on your throat
Experiencing a suffocating and constricting feeling of fear and anxiety.

You're lost and wandering
Feeling confused, directionless, and without purpose.

Flying' on broken wings
Trying to navigate through life with damaged and ineffective tools or resources.

Feel your words like ice in my head
Your words have a chilling and hurtful impact on me, affecting my thoughts and emotions.

I can't rest, it's silence I dread
Unable to find peace or calmness, as even silence brings me anxiety and unease.

Feelings crushing burning my chest
Overwhelming emotions are burdening and causing intense pain within me.

Think it's enough, it's enough I've bled
Believing that I have suffered and endured enough, and can't take anymore.

'Cause I don't wanna go back, go back
I don't want to revisit a painful past or repeat past mistakes.

I don't wanna know that, know that
I don't want to be aware of or confront certain painful truths or realities.

Find me where the angels cry
Seek me in a place or state of deep sadness and despair.

This is a trauma in the making
This situation or experience is becoming a source of severe emotional distress.

And not even God can save me
It feels as though there is no divine intervention or external help that can alleviate my suffering.

Hide my bodies in the basement
Metaphorically trying to conceal or bury the pain and turmoil within me.

And now all my demons chase, chase, chase, chase me
My inner demons and personal struggles relentlessly pursue and torment me.

And I feel so disconnected
I experience a deep sense of detachment and alienation from others.

From the ones who said they cared the most
Even those who claim to care deeply about me seem distant or indifferent.

You don't need to pretend anymore
You no longer have to fake concern or act like you care.

Watch me bleed on the pavement
Witness my suffering and pain as it becomes visible and undeniable.

Let me die, don't you save me
Allow me to succumb to my despair and don't try to rescue or help me.

And my sky was the ceiling
My aspirations and possibilities seemed boundless and unlimited.

And it broke, and it broke, don't you see it
But now, those dreams and hopes have shattered and collapsed, and I want you to acknowledge that.
