The truth is like the sun, you can shut it out for a while but it will always be there.


I can’t show it
I’m afraid of questioning it
What no one knows
How will we tell?
How will we find out?
What will happen when I die?

I’m breathing slowly
Waiting for my time
Waiting for my life
So long
Too short
How much can I take?

Why would I care?
I…
Have no one to care!
I…
Have no soul to bare!
I…
Cannot think no more!
I…
Try so hard!
I always seem to fail!

I’m climbing!
I was almost there!
But now I’m falling again!
No matter how high I climb…
I end up in the ground!

I’m breathing slowly
How could one be so lonely?
My heart is beating steady
My mind is so different
It’s scattered again!

Oh!

I’m half way there!
I’m getting closer!
I’m just out of reach!
My savior is gone!

Again and again, and again
Ah!

I’m trapped inside of my head!
I’m tryin’ to find my way out!
My heart is beating slowly!
I’m breathing slowly….
It just keeps getting harder to survive!
It’s so hard to respond to my memories
To these voices I hear
Every day
Ohh no…

As the days go by...
Not a one that is silent...
Not a one that is right!
Not a thing that I think of can help me
No.
Nothing can speed my mind
I can’t fix myself!
I can’t fix anyone else!
But I’m breathing slowly!
Oh I’m breathing slowly
Slower than the turtles in the sea…

There were the vocal sounds of almost fifteen of the artists that i listen too floating in my mind while writing this song so if it doesn't make sense, i'm sorry
