I Can't Breathe (Monologue)

(álbum: A Silent Soul Screams Loud - 2020)

I can't breathe
It's killing me now
I'm drowning in rivers of tears
I'm smothering, I smother for the rest of my years
Because I can't breathe
Because I can't breathe

Tempted to lay the world at her feet
And not to take her crown
Deja vu, a torrid heart
Set composure down

But the last thing that I can remember
Is that hope is not just a word
But I'm drowning in oceans of ember
My suffering unheard

I can't breathe
It's killing me now
I'm drowning in rivers of tears
I'm smothering, I smother for the rest of my years
Because I can't breathe
Because I can't breathe

My oh my, I pray for a house
In the name of the Lord
Why oh why? Here comes my spouse
A shade early, aboard

But the last thing that I can remember
Is that hope is not just a word
But I'm drowning in oceans of ember
My suffering unheard

I would rather lay my head
In God's hands than in this man's
Temper justice with mercy
Is all I want, is all I need

I can't breathe
It's killing me now
I'm drowning in rivers of tears
I'm smothering, I smother for the rest of my years
Because I can't breathe
Because I can't breathe
