Ad Ogni Respiro

I calculated every single possibility
I begged in every corner of your town
You told me no, it's not fun
Better to turn around and pretend nothing happened
I've met people who no longer want to
Think about what happens in the best-case scenario
When everything is better than nothing
When even emptiness seems better than nothing

I am alive as long as I breathe
Even when it seems pointless
I stay alive with every breath
when it seems impossible

I settled the scores with the anger that lived with me
I nurtured the hope of surviving
For the boredom that slips inside you
Better to turn around and take a deep breath
I've experienced days when you no longer want to
Think about what happens when you slip
When drowning is always better than nothing
When silence seems better than nothing

Everything I've learned
Everything I've left behind
Everything that hurts
That I can't remember

I am alive as long as I breathe
When it seems impossible
I stay alive with every breath
Even when it seems pointless
