Alright
To Breathe Again
I’m stuck up high on the tight rope again The wind comes in waves over my skin The imbalance might break me tonight I hear the windows shatter in my mind So much for being in control My limits took their toll I’m just trying to be alright (I wanna run away, I wanna run away) Will I last another night (Can’t hold back anymore) I just wanna be okay But I'm nearing capacity I’m trying to be alright and if I hold on tight I can make it through the night I haven’t showered in two weeks Haven’t changed my clothes; not brushed my teeth Can’t fall asleep at night Cuz that’s my only chance to go through my mind Can't silence the voices in my head They paint a picture I can’t resist Sometimes all I can do Is let it out and hope for the best I’m just trying to be alright (I wanna run away, I wanna run away) Will I last another night (Can’t hold back anymore) I just wanna be okay But I'm nearing capacity I’m trying to be alright and if I hold on tight I can make it through the night I hear the siren call of the void An echoed silence I can't avoid The silent screams are taunting me One step to take and I'll be free I pray the waves will wash me away Drag me down, I can't escape From down below they call my name Just respond to end the pain I’m just trying to be alright (I wanna run away, I wanna run away) Will I last another night (Can’t hold back anymore) I just wanna be okay But I'm nearing capacity I’m trying to be alright and if I hold on tight I can make it through the night

I’m stuck up high on the tight rope again
The wind comes in waves over my skin
The imbalance might break me tonight
I hear the windows shatter in my mind
So much for being in control
My limits took their toll

I’m just trying to be alright
(I wanna run away, I wanna run away)
Will I last another night
(Can’t hold back anymore)
I just wanna be okay
But I'm nearing capacity
I’m trying to be alright
and if I hold on tight
I can make it through the night

I haven’t showered in two weeks
Haven’t changed my clothes; not brushed my teeth
Can’t fall asleep at night
Cuz that’s my only chance to go through my mind
Can't silence the voices in my head
They paint a picture I can’t resist
Sometimes all I can do
Is let it out and hope for the best

I’m just trying to be alright
(I wanna run away, I wanna run away)
Will I last another night
(Can’t hold back anymore)
I just wanna be okay
But I'm nearing capacity
I’m trying to be alright
and if I hold on tight
I can make it through the night

I hear the siren call of the void
An echoed silence I can't avoid
The silent screams are taunting me
One step to take and I'll be free
I pray the waves will wash me away
Drag me down, I can't escape
From down below they call my name
Just respond to end the pain

I’m just trying to be alright
(I wanna run away, I wanna run away)
Will I last another night
(Can’t hold back anymore)
I just wanna be okay
But I'm nearing capacity
I’m trying to be alright
and if I hold on tight
I can make it through the night
