VERSE 1

Hear me, I implore you,
to take heed of all these things which I show you,
for within these walls where we breathe,
are answers to blind questions that will help you see,
like…..
Why are we fighting?
And why are the poor unheard?
Why do the richest of men rely on false lines so Fu**ing blurred?
Why does a vote mean nothing & our system need saving?
Why does a flag that only stole think it’s entitled to something?
Why does our pain get ignored but our greed gets heard?
Why do we crave a normal life yet never challenge the absurd?
We do we burn the tree of life just to quench our thirsts?
I’m preaching to the choir, & now i’m lost for words.

PRE CHORUS

Take a bated breath,
Coz now were all tone deaf,
Hold your nooses in the air,
Before you wrap em around your necks,
So, Take a bated breath,
You’ve already second guessed,
Exhale what you believe & Banish it from your chest

CHORUS

Take a bated breath

VERSE 2

I see the lies of society causing suicide in kids,
The cause is comparison,
Thieving joy is now a gift,
We were raised to believe that all our dreams would come true,
A generation of lost men, I am one I am proof.
You are me I am you,
We read lies and we see truths,
Success isn’t measured by the digits that you can prove,
Success is only measured by not existing as a fool,
and success is just a word to keep our minds meaning ruled,
We’re forever chasing more but get lost in today,
We’re forever craving hope but let the billboards light the way,
We possess the only thing that can keep us from a noose,
yet we choose to close our eyes as our minds rattle loose,
I’m tired of all this chaos being seen as everyday,
I’m tired of this black cloud filling the sky as I prey,
I’m tired of being nothing, never heard or never seen,
I wish I held your beliefs then i’d still know how to dream.

BRIDGE

Take a bated breath

PRE CHORUS

Take a bated breath,
Coz now were all tone deaf,
Hold your nooses in the air,
Before you wrap em around your necks,
So, Take a bated breath,
You’ve already second guessed,
Exhale what you believe & Banish it from your chest

CHORUS


Take a bated breath.
