By The Way - I Don't Breathe

by Unseen Exposure   Feb 9, 2005



Its not hard to see what you're doing to me
By the way;
I don't breathe
No, not anymore.
Since the day you ripped my heart from my chest and squeezed it with hate
I have not felt true emotions of pleasure
So forgive me if I break
Turn blue in the face
By the way;
I don't breathe
No, not anymore
Since the moment you took my hands and bent them to fit your shape
I haven't been able to grasp the truth
So don't refuse the way I am
Oh you'd never understand
By the way;
I don't breathe
No, not anymore
Since the second you stole my faithless tears and trapped them in your fists
I've forgotten how to cry, or feel the warmth of tears
So I'm sorry I didn't survive
Living in the life you deprived
By the way;
I don't breathe
No, not anymore

Choking in cluttered air to lungs that don't in-take
Crawling over pieces of a shattered life that I felt break
Can't expand to let you in, can't contract to spit you out
Screaming at the top of my lungs, no escaping now

Since the day you took my heart and ripped it from my chest
No- I don't breathe
I don't breathe

By the way
I don't breathe ..
Not anymore.

- its going to be a song ... those are just the lyrics for now -

    This is going to be all the more lovely when sung into tune. I cannot wait to hear this darling, it will be beautiful. the words are as usual lovely, and written in a state of darkness and beauty that portrays the inner depth of the writer. I especially admired the lines,
    "Choking in cluttered air to lungs that don't in-take
    Crawling over pieces of a shattered life that I felt break
    Can't expand to let you in, can't contract to spit you out
    Screaming at the top of my lungs, no escaping now"
    Beautiful. Lovely job
