Breathing isn't easy
Blotting it all out
Or die in the attempt
To get everything out
Got to learn to fake it
Pretend I was no prisoner
Pretend it never happened
Deny I was around
Walking with weights on
Ten tonnes of burden
Ten tonnes of nothing
Ten tonnes of shame
Breathing isn't easy
Oceans in my belly
A cauldron of regret
Churning like the sea
Run until it's over
Run until you've gone
Away. I'm tipping over
And falling in the fray
