Oxygen

(album: Afterglow - 2021)

In case you hear me, you might be listening
Cause you're always around me when I feel like I'm blistering
When I'm choking, when I'm down in the deepest of all the bottoms
So if you hear me say "Hi", cause I need to tell you something

I try to go, you hold me close
I felt your branches became my roots
I try to go, you call me home
I know I will surrender

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul
My crooked soul

Do you remember the first time you got me down, 4 years ago
It has been the first time I got you to know

I try to go, you hold me close
I felt your branches became my roots
I try to go, you call me home
I know I will surrender

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul

You take my oxygen
You steal the air that I breathe
You take my oxygen
You pin me down and watch me bleed

What I am, is what you have made of me
Pull me down, crawling under my skin
What I am, is what you have made of me
You chew me up, spit me out and watch me bleed

Watch me bleed

I try to go, you hold me close
I try to go, you call me home

I try to go, you hold me close
I try to go, you call me home

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul
Crooked soul
