[Verse 1: Cole the Caryr]
My mind races, I need the calm
Warring like Vietnam
Actually, that's insensitive, it's not that bad
But if I don't tame that beast, then...
Panic attacks
I'm attacking the beat, with an apology note in the hand
Opposite of the battleaxe
Sometimes I don't know how to act
How to connect
I feel out of place and uncomfortable...
In my skin, so I put on a grin
And tell myself to relax
Treat myself as if I were a kid
Build myself up so I actually live
Instead of locking myself in the box
Tried all the piano keys, but they don't fit the lock
Nope... not yet
So until then you will hear me talk
And let it breathe... let it breathe...
[Hook: Cole the Caryr]
Prepare yourself for the worst
But hope for the best
A bulletproof vest doesn't protect a
Heart, worn on the sleeve, so
I'm just gonna' have to
Let it breathe, let it breathe
Open up your airways, lungs full of electricity...
Electricity, sizzling, pulsing, lifting these
Problems off of my shoulders and giving me
The confidence that I need
Electricity... Electricity...
[Verse 2: Cole the Caryr]
Follow the breadcrumbs, follow the signs
Whatever they are, whatever you find
And if you have heart, let it guide you
Fine-tune your sights
Anger's okay, but destructive at times...
It has its place, but can also destroy
The ladder you climb
To reach those goals
That you hold so important...
But don't treat it like a disease
Instead feed it what it needs (Love)
Let it breathe (Uhhh)
Let it be (Umm...)
Let it grow like a seed
They say that you sow what you reap
So at the end of the week
Ask yourself if you were the person
That you would have liked to be
[Hook: Cole the Caryr]
Prepare yourself for the worst
But hope for the best
A bulletproof vest doesn't protect a
Heart, worn on the sleeve, so
I'm just gonna' have to
Let it breathe, let it breathe
Open up your airways, lungs full of electricity...
Electricity, sizzling, pulsing, lifting these
Problems off of my shoulders and giving me
The confidence that I need
Electricity... Electricity...
[Outro: Cole the Caryr]
Tactfully express how you feel because
Feelings don't appeal because
We're afraid to feel because
We're afraid of getting hurt...
We have been hurt too many times
Have been told one too many lies
Too many nights, mind racing, can't sleep
But what happens when you wear your heart on your sleeve?
Let it breathe... let it...
