Air

Lyrics

[Intro] Pressure climbing under my ribs A room too small for what I live in [Verse 1] I wake with the window nailed shut Dust on the glass, red in my blood Every breath feels borrowed and thin A silent weight pressing in The ceiling bends, the walls draw near I count the seconds by the taste of fear No chain is wrapped around my chest Still something says I can't rest [Pre-Chorus] Open the door Break the seal Give me the thing That makes me real [Chorus] Air, air, tear through me Fill these lungs till the cage gives free Air, air, fierce and bright Turn one breath into a fight I won't fold, I won't disappear I am still here when the pressure clears Air, air, carry me Make enough room for all I need [Verse 2] Sirens bloom somewhere below The pipes knock hard in a dying row I taste the storm before it arrives Cold on my tongue, proof I'm alive Hands on the frame, I wrench it wide The outside rushes like a rising tide Leaves spin wild across the floor The world comes crashing through the door [Pre-Chorus] Open the door Break the seal Give me the thing That makes me real [Chorus] Air, air, tear through me Fill these lungs till the cage gives free Air, air, fierce and bright Turn one breath into a fight I won't fold, I won't disappear I am still here when the pressure clears Air, air, carry me Make enough room for all I need [Bridge] Hold your breath Feel the burn Every limit Can be turned One more inch One more sound Let the pressure Hit the ground [Breakdown] Breathe in Breathe out Rip the locked room out Breathe in Breathe out No more living without [Final Chorus] Air, air, tear through me Fill these lungs till the cage gives free Air, air, fierce and bright Turn one breath into a fight I won't fold, I won't disappear I am still here and the sky is near Air, air, carry me Make enough room for all I need [Outro] The window shakes The whole room turns I draw one breath And let it burn
