What I Breathe

Given everything
Given every part of me
Given what you want
Every part you’ll ever need
Given everyone
A laugh at my expense for free
This is what I hope will bring
You back here with me
This is what I breathe
Your air is all I hope to leave
And this is what I choose to be
Hoping you’re not gone
This is what I breathe
A part of you inside of me
And this is what I hope to leave
When I have nothing left
Wishing away
The other
The other
Hoping to stay
Closer
Closer
Bringing everything
Closer to the surface
And this is what we choose to see
When everything is lost
Pulling off the scales
Our eyes can see the world again
In all its beauty and its grace
Hope is not lost
This is what I breathe4 | P a g e
Your air is all I hope to leave
And this is what I choose to be
Hoping you’re not gone
This is what I breathe
A part of you inside of me
And this is what I hope to leave
When I have nothing left
