Breathe Lyrics by Hopie

Sugar Water

2013

(picked up every night when no one knows
Take a breath and hold it, there she goes)
Verse 1:
I'm sittin' at the cusp, something big [?]
I've never been so gun-shy but I tempt [?]
There's no one holding me down and there's no one next to me
So if I take that leap now then I'm only testing me
It's Hopie again, I know of emotion but no one is holding the reins
No one to blame
Starin' so deep in my struggle I'm finally seein' my pain
Feelin' insane, leavin' the source of safety, the comfortin' them in my brain
Some'll just say if only my lyrics could write every thought, I got [?] through my veins
Weaker than chains, deep in the range, people I pay sit within range
Gone in a second, a flash, it's over and gone
And the fire divide my history past
My present alas is no one invited to see here to witness me fail
No one is cheering me on to make progress but left in my darkest of days
Callin' me names, pierce my pride
Shout it in vain, fear subside
Tears don't dare to fall from my eyes
I'm dead inside and I'm mad as f*ck
Not at the world but at myself
I've been through the wash, this isn't my hell
My name is Hope, they gave me the promise, that would be dishonor to let myself fail
Breathe
Just breathe
Verse 2:
So much I've been through
A million lives I lived through
I feel it inside but I would I would survive whatever could ensue
A pencil, an instrumental
My mind's so live and nimble
There's nothing I couldn't swim foo'
If I would just dive right in
And time and again [?] I would just test my life within my hands
And God is something I find along the lines between the rhymes again
Here come those lines again
Those doubts that criticize me and
Those doubts that pounce upon me calmly
Terrorize my mind again
The kind that send me running back
And I pivot on a dime and I press rewind
I'm making progressive then I digress so success ain't sh*t the way you define it
In the end I'm guessin' I'm tryin' just to stay afloat
And keep my spirits high enough to silence
The demons to pilot me to freedom
I puff on [?] if I'm Seagram's
Stay up at night, I write through seasons
I'm bleedin', behind my eyes my mind is playin' tricks
Makin' jokes at my expense
My pen's reflecting all of this
Breathe
Just breathe
(picked up every night when no one knows
Take a breath and hold it, there she goes)
Verse 3:
So while I'm lakin' in the valley
Shadows of death surround me
I take a breath, I'm counting seconds till the next
I fear no evil
Inhale, I been failed and I tailspin and I exhale all my past sins
No more asking for some leeway
I've been at dead ends of my last resort and still stay
I've been castaway and outcast and look past the day
I can't unmask my face
One day I'll grasp my fate
Yeah
