Dilated - Atreyu

Yesterday I forgot to breathe

For like the 6th time this week

Maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky

That changed my mind

And brought me back

Seems like every day

It’s kill or be killed

(With all this anger, we cannot progress)

With all this anger

There is no time to inhale and progress

And catch the smell of something

That you once knew

'Cause everyday it’s bear the load

Or break, when will it be too much?

Have you ever stopped

Raised your face up to the sun and screamed

Let it out exhale the pain

That strangulates your soul

When will I be free?

When will I be free?

When will I be free?

My lungs take in the fragrance of remorse

What is the cost, am I living

If you let your lungs fill up with pain

Then you will drown

Then you will drown in your own regret

I am drowning in my own regret

My arms feel so numb

My heart palpitates missing a beat

The blood freezing in my veins

The taste of rust in my mouth

So today I just threw it all away

I just threw it all away

Though the light burns my eyes

I will not be blind

If you blink you could miss so much

Please don’t ever close your eyes
