no strings attached

oxygen

why do i send my thoughts to you, you ask

i send my thoughts to you

to keep them from spilling off my tongue

and breaking through the ceiling of my brain

my mind and tearing me inside out

to keep me from dying

and hanging nooses on ceilings

but i've never tried to cooperate

sometimes i hate breathing

it feels weird all the time

i try to relax, but i just feel tense

i can't find a way to calm down

"just breathe" they say,

"just breathe"

i can feel the words on my tongue

they're waiting to just roll off

i know how to sing these lyrics

but i don't have the voice to try

i walk down empty corridors

opening the doors of my mind

i see nothing, nothing but nightmares

i've always come across like i'm dying

but if i said i'll live for you

that was a lie, and i'm sorry

sometimes i hate breathing

it feels weird all the time

i try to relax, but i just feel tense

i can't find a way to calm down

"just breathe" they say,

"just breathe"

love isn't real

argue with me, i dare you

but if you think about it

maybe our hearts were the villains

all along

but all along i was lying

and no i'm not a hero

i'm set at ground zero

and my soul will leave me

but now it means i'm free

these rhymes will kill me

but i already come across

like i am diseased and dying

and trust me it's true

sometimes i hate breathing

it feels weird all the time

i try to relax, but i just feel tense

i can't find a way to calm down

won't you let me go

i will throw my soul into the sea

what have i become

i'm sorry
