Breathe
Hope
Still sleepless, morning alarm
Body numb, still asleep, mirror, bathroom
Sad face to face, anxiety of waking up
Reflection in the glass, the years passing dull the sun (okay)
With news flashes, crises, unemployment
Melting ice, fine particles
Running after time, crowded trains
The battles of glances, life is a factory, hamster in its wheel
Little boss, big executioner
Waiting in line everywhere, frowning everywhere, life is robotic
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
Still tired, the noon bell
Body knocked out, always exhausted, masks are on
Sad face to face, chasing happiness
Reflection in the glass
The years passing wilt the flowers (okay)
Screens, noise, money, credits
Killer phrases, idiots, cancers
Time flows, emptiness grows
Thick silence, life is war
Spinning in the drum
Placebo love
Pretending for everything, it’s violent everywhere, life is Rambo
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
Eyes wide open, can’t find sleep, tossing in bed all the time
Car headlights sweep the ceiling with their dancing shadows
The night suffocates, the heat is heavy, the storm is hanging
Where are the dreams, where are our childhood dreams
Escape, desert the ranks
Break free from the conveyor belts
Searching for silence and wandering
Reconnect, find your rhythm
Screw the codes, the narrow routines
Leave your role, the boxes and the bins
Don’t crack, snap, burn
Loosen your collar to breathe
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse (hope)
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Hope
You’re short of breath (breathe)
When nothing’s easy (breathe)
Even if you lose yourself (breathe)
And if everything gets worse
Hope
