I can't breathe

How do you tell the truth
When you have lied so much
How do you laugh
When you have cried so hard

Nothing seems real
Or so it seems
Engulfing
Smothering
I can’t breathe

Friends all around
Avenues to turn
But if this carries on
Bridges might burn

How do I lie awake
When all I want is sleep
How do I tell
When all I want is silence

Nothing seems real
Or so it seems
Overflowing
Overwhelming
I can’t breathe
