Barely Breathing
Days and nights run together
can't tell one thing from another
always dreaming, never awake
It's getting to be more than I can take
can't tell one thing from another
always dreaming, never awake
It's getting to be more than I can take
everything's wrong, nothing is right
filled with nothing but pain and strife
always surrounded yet still so alone
feel like an outsider in my own home
going nowhere, unsure of my future
living this life destroyed and disfigured
wondering what's the point, wishing it would end
tired of trying to pretend
nothing's ok and never will be
feeling weak, crying softly
drifting off, breathing...just barely
