Exhale
Exhale (9/13/2005)
I can’t begin to see all the things in front of me
Lost inside confusion and I’m too afraid to move
Do people pity me? Looking condescendingly
Staring at the victim of a path he didn’t choose
I need to scream and exhale all of my shadows
Venting everything that I have locked up deep inside
And need to breathe, exhaling all my shadows
Freeing me from darkness of a life out of control
I try to stand the pain and play along with all the games
The rules say I can’t function, so I fade and let it go
Attempt to seize the reigns, moments I can concentrate
Then darkness overcomes me and the hatred only shows
I need to scream and exhale all of my shadows
Venting everything that I have locked up deep inside
And need to breathe, exhaling all my shadows
Freeing me from darkness of a life out of control
I drink to medicate, numbness used to compensate
Blacking out the demons I’ve conceived to bring me pain
I can not tolerate the feeling of the constant hate
I cry and gasp for every breathe, but things will never change
I need to scream and exhale all of my shadows
Venting everything that I have locked up deep inside
And need to breathe, exhaling all my shadows
Freeing me from darkness of a life out of control
I need to scream……..
Exhaling all my shadows
Please let me breathe…
I’m failing in the shadows
I can’t begin to see all the things in front of me
Lost inside confusion and I’m too afraid to move
Notes: I’m not going to get into details about the meaning as it should be clear enough. I just want to point out two things. Firstly, this is one of those sad acoustic songs (helps you grasp the sound). Secondly, I left off the “verse” and “chorus” tags as I believe they interupt the reading of the piece itself.
