Breaking the Silence
To Breathe Again
Take my hand Breathe a breath in Breathe out Cuz you're not that broken It's not your fault You're not wasted Give it up Cuz you know you gotta make it It's last call Time to stand tall Put your drink down It's gonna be a downfall Pick yourself up Dust yourself off Life begins in Four Three Two One I will not fall I will not break I will stand up I will find my faith I won't bow down I will never quit I will show up With a smile on my face Ready for a break down Heading for a take down I will stand up I will find my feet I will not fall Cuz I'm no longer frightened Breaking the Silence Hope you're wide awake Cuz there is no escape Just the sound Of your heartbeat against its cage It's not over We're just beginning Feel the rush as You fight for the ending Nothing's gonna Save you from your mistakes Might as well just Keep running in this race From the monsters And the demons And the villains Trying to seal your fate I will not fall I will not break I will stand up I will find my faith I won't bow down I will never quit I will show up With a smile on my face Ready for a break down Heading for a take down I will stand up I will find my feet I will not fall Cuz I'm no longer frightened Breaking the Silence I will not fall I will not break I will stand up I will find my faith I won't bow down I will never quit I will show up With a smile on my face Heading for a break down Ready for a take down I will stand up I will find my feet I will not fall Cuz I'm taking my life back Defy expectation I'm no longer frightened Breaking the Silence

Scream
To Breathe Again
You... You're at the end of your rope Paralyzed By everything you keep inside You... You feel the darkness setting in A thousand nightmares Have come to take you alive Scream Until you cannot feel Anything that makes you feel Like you've died And sing Until you cannot breathe Let your voice ring out In the dead of the night I... I feel the walls are closing in Running in circles Here it comes again I WON'T GIVE IN (Never) I WON'T BACK DOWN (Never) I WILL BEAT THIS (Never) I WON'T DIE Scream Until you cannot feel Anything that makes you feel Like you've died And sing Until you cannot breathe Let your voice ring out In the dead of the night Scream Until you cannot feel Anything that makes you feel Like you've died And sing Until you cannot breathe Let your voice ring out In the dead of the night Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh

Give
To Breathe Again
You wear Me down Build me up just to drown me out You tear Apart Skip the seams Go straight for the heart Your hatred is a detriment Your words unthought Only said Your snide remarks pierce my skin Like the knife you twisted further in But nothing that you say will change my mind that it's Not right But nothing that I say to you will get through to your mind I'm begging and I'm pleading for somebody to Hear me While you just go ahead and Take what you want from me Because there's nothing left to give Claim your crown You well known thief Prove to yourself that you can You picked a fight to prove your worth You faked your might As you stood On the backs that were never meant to Bear your burden now Your time is up The fuel is lit The match I used has snapped your grip It was all a game Your creation And it's all over now But nothing that I say will convince you it's Not right But nothing that you say could ever fire the gaslight You manipulate and cheat and tonight is the Last time That you just go ahead and Take what you want from me Because there's nothing left to give Claim your crown You well known thief Prove to yourself that you can Rule the world and consume until You begin to descend And that is when you'll finally see That this is where it ends This is where it ends Take what you want from me Because there's nothing left to give Claim your crown You well known thief Prove to yourself that you can Rule the world and consume until You begin to descend And that is when you'll finally see That this is where it ends

In the Dark
To Breathe Again
I lay here in the darkness Where no one else can see me And no matter how much I move I still can't be seen I might as well be talking to a wall I may as well have not Spoken at all I guess I'm just Whispering in the dark Trying so hard not to fall apart Wondering if to them I'm really there Wondering if anyone truly cares Could I just be making everything hard By trying so hard not to fall apart I can't stand this broken heart I might as well be Whispering in the dark I flail my arms around So as not to risk falling to the ground 'Cuz I know that if I do It'll be my signal to lose But I don't wanna lose I don't wanna die I don't want to choose to give up on my fight There's got to be a way out I just have to make the right sound I guess I'm just Whispering in the dark Trying so hard not to fall apart Wondering if to them I'm really there Wondering if anyone truly cares Could I just be making everything hard By trying so hard not to fall apart I can't stand this broken heart I might as well be Whispering in the dark I'm whispering in the dark Trying so hard not to fall apart Wondering if to them I'm really there Wondering if anyone truly cares Could I just be making everything hard By trying so hard not to fall apart I can't stand this broken heart I might as well be Whispering in the dark

Another Life
To Breathe Again
Liars Feeds upon the fire of this Burning contradiction in this Faked sort of condition, in this Hell we made All across the pages of this Made up situation Dropping bombs on this falling sensation I don't know what the problem is I can't believe your nonsense I refuse to believe There's a monster on your back that Nobody can see So now you know Just what it means to be below The lie you never thought you would know This time it won't let you get away This time you can't escape the pain Don't let this hollow your mind Don't let this take another life Failure Failure's just an exit Just a pit stop on the road of self induced deception In a world undone Searching for attention Gotta have it Gotta need it Must control it Wield it Feel it Breathe it I don't know what the problem is I can't believe your nonsense I refuse to believe There's a monster on your back that Nobody can see So now you know Just what it means to be below The lie you never thought you would know This time it won't let you get away This time you have to face the pain Don't let this hollow your mind Don't let this take another life So now you know Just what it means to be below The lie you never thought you would know This time it won't let you get away This time you have to embrace the pain Don't let this hollow your mind Don't let this take another life

Shell
To Breathe Again
Ex marks the spot where they want you to go I've got an itch for fix and it's ready blow I'm not a slave to your disease I'm not under control Say goodbye to every other motherfucker Let's go I had Everything Under my control and now we're going nowhere Please let go of me You're twisting up my heart And you're drowning yourself in me High times have come to an end But you really wanna push it til there's nothing left So keep pushing, bring me fuel for the fire And you'll never ever find out what's more to desire Ex marks the spot where they want you to go I've got an itch for fix and it's ready blow I'm not a slave to your disease I'm not under control Say goodbye to every other motherfucker Let's go Keep your head down and follow the tracks Cuz no one ever wants to work with someone like that Keep your feet moving in time with the rest Cuz you never ever want to be one that's left behind Someone with an axe to grind Making up scenarios and killing what's left inside Of a mind Until there's nothing left of this wasted shell of a life I won't lie down I will never quit I'll fight to the end I'll take this win Give me a line Give me something to prove And I'll find a way to make it through This pathetic bullshit you sent Around and round in my head Of all the stories and lies that you said It leaves a god awful taste in my mouth And that's the reason that I want out Keep your head down and follow the tracks Cuz no one ever wants to work with someone like that Keep your feet moving in time with the rest Cuz you never ever want to be one that's left behind Someone with an axe to grind Making up scenarios and killing what's left inside Of a mind Until there's nothing left of this wasted shell of a life Let's go Keep your head down and follow the tracks Cuz no one ever wants to work with someone like that Keep your feet moving in time with the rest Cuz you never ever want to be one that's left behind Someone with an axe to grind Making up scenarios and killing what's left inside Of a mind Until there's nothing left of this wasted shell of a life

To Breathe Again
I I see what you're doing here I can't support this I will not lay down You You can't understand my view Don't try to convince me This will not end well for you It's time To tell you everything I won't hold back tonight Cuz I Won't let you be the death of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy You Will never get the best of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy Now I lay it all out for you There's nothing left for me To try and hide from view I've had Enough of your selfish games Shut up and believe it There will be no face to save Give it up I've exposed all of your secrets You have nowhere to run Cuz I Won't let you be the death of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy You Will never get the best of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy Cuz I Won't let you be the death of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy You Will never get the best of me Don't turn your back on me Don't make me the enemy

Youre Singing Alone
To Breathe Again
Hey What do you know Guess you're losing your place In your one man show Got this idea that You'll get what you want in no time flat You walk around like you're some kind of class act But look around cuz you're the one that's getting laughed at The table's turned Now you've come face to face With the realization of How much you faked I guess This is what you get When you Treat us like this You walk around like America's best But you're the one who ends up On your own Now is This what you want Because This is what you've got You've gone and broken all of our bones So now Tonight you're singing alone Hey Who could it be The ones putting up with your insanity But we're done With all your games Tired of being nice Yeah it's time to change You rely on looks alone To mask the fact that you got no soul But what I think you're not realizing Is that you forgot What you're hiding I guess This is what you get When you Treat us like this You walk around like America's best But you're the one who ends up On your own Now is This what you want Because This is what you've got You've gone and broken all of our bones So now Tonight you're singing alone I guess This is what you get When you Treat us like this You walk around like America's best But you're the one who ends up On your own Now is This what you want Because This is what you've got You've gone and broken all of our bones So now Tonight you're singing Tonight you're singing Tonight you're singing Tonight you're singing alone

Warriors
To Breathe Again
Taking over We are the voiceless Shouting for our lives at the top of our lungs We are the broken Picking up the pieces like a fighter on the run We are the first ones in and the last ones out Til the sun comes up Til they shut us down We are jaded But we all come alive when the fire ignites We all come alive When the fire ignites We all come alive When the fire ignites We are the warriors Living our lives on the edge, cuz We are the warriors Sun beating on the backs of our necks but We are the fire We are the storm We are the lions Can you hear us roar? We are the warriors And we're taking over We all get high Off the kick in our chest and the flames rising A mile high Sweating bullets from the heat and the stars in our eyes We like it loud We like the hit We like to jump Til our feet are dead We're exhausted But we still come alive When the concussions go We still come alive when the We are the warriors Living our lives on the edge, cuz We are the warriors Sun beating on the backs of our necks but We are the fire We are the storm We are the lions Can you hear us roar? We are the warriors And we're taking over We are the warriors Living our lives on the edge, cuz We are the warriors Sun beating on the backs of our necks but We are the fire We are the storm We are the lions Can you hear us roar? We are the warriors And we're taking over

Breaking the Silence is the debut album by To Breathe Again.

This album was written and recorded by Austin and Scotty over the pandemic after three years of developing what they wanted their sound to truly be. This album marked the introduction of the project to the scene and songs like “Give” and “Another Life” laid the groundwork for where the band would journey with their music.

Previously, TBA was branded as “Breaking the Silence” and put out a five song EP that would late serve as demos for what the album became before changing their name to To Breathe Again.

The album was lead by three singles; “Scream”, “Enemy”, and “In The Dark”, and was released on October 9, 202. The band also made two acoustic appearances leading up to the release.
