Breathe again

I was trapped, but now I’m free

The door was locked, but I found the key 

Crashing waves have kept me beneath my mental surface 

But i’m coming back up, break the water and find my purpose 

Because i can breathe again 

I can obtain  that happiness despite where i’ve been 

Because sometimes i got myself messed up beyond my belief

But that’s just where we were and i found my relief 

Cuz i can breathe again

I can come up from the water, break the surface tension 

Break my tension in my heart as i grasp the air 

I can feel again, i can feel these things again 

And i’m going to be okay, because i’ve survived the awful days 

And i’ll keep on pushing, keep on fighting 

Spread the dark away with lighting 

I’ll make my own path from the dirt

Fight my demons right where they lurk 

Cuz i can breathe again 

The dark grimy water is out of my lungs 

And i can speak again, a language of joyful tongues 

Climb up this latter, and damn right i’ll use every single rung 

Cuz my heart is singing, my ears are ringing 

But it’s a ringing of joy, a symphony of glee

Away from the dark, find myself 

Once again i’ll find me 

I was in a pit and i found my way out 

I can do my own things because i know what i’m about 

Follow my dreams and nobody can stop me 

A pair of binoculars, only ahead i can see 

Break free of the chains, dance in the rain 

My smile can stop the frown

This dark water can’t keep me down

Because i can breathe again 

Mom, Dad, i can breathe again
