Just Barely Breathing Lyrics by Killswitch Engage

Alive or Just Breathing

2002

[Verse 1]
Descend into hysteria, chaos of mankind
But who is listening to the voice of hatred?
Tortured souls lost, so completely lost
Weakened in the concept of decline, deception

[Verse 1]
Descend into hysteria, chaos of mankind
But who is listening to the voice of hatred?
Tortured souls lost, so completely lost
Weakened in the concept of decline, deception

[Chorus]
Are we alive, or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, see the images
Are we alive, or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, see the images

[Verse 2]
The skies weep tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

[Chorus]
Are we alive, or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, see the images
Are we alive, or just breathing?
Don't close your eyes, see the images

[Verse 2]
The skies weep tonight
Our bodies washed away
I am waiting for you
Deliverance
The sun falls through the clouds
Hear my cry

[Outro]
I am waiting for you, (I am waiting for you)
(For you)
I am waiting for you, (I am waiting for you)
(For you)
I am waiting for you, (I am waiting for you)
(For you)
I am waiting for you, (I am waiting for you)
(For you)
I am waiting for you, I am waiting for you, I am waiting for you
