Breather

I've lived a life that didn't want me
Fought a mind that wants to scold me
Looked through eyes that seen only clouds
I've held a hand that wants to choke me
Drank a drink that wants to drown me
Smoked a smoke that wants to burn me down

But I am a breather
I am a dreamer you can't wake
I am a fighter
I am a mountain you can't shake
I have survived when I've given up
I've kept on playing with bad luck
Cause I am a breather
I am a breather you can't snuff

I've danced with demons that still haunt me
Kissed lips that didn't love me
Cursed God upon hollowed ground
I've made mistakes that want to tempt me
Bring me back to where they met me
Trip me up and try to tie me down

But I am a breather
I am a dreamer you can't wake
I am a fighter
I am a mountain you can't shake
I have survived when I've given up
I've kept on playing with bad luck
Cause I am a breather
I am a breather you can't snuff

I keep on crawling till I stand
I keep on swimming towards dry land
I give my fire and till I'm ash
Let me tell you who I am

I am a breather
I am a dreamer you can't wake
I am a fighter
I am a mountain you can't shake
I have survived when I've given up
I've kept on playing with bad luck
Cause I am a breather
I am a breather you can't snuff
