Analysis of I Can Breath Now
If I grabbed from within
Would you see it
Closed down abused and beaten
A dark cloud has formed
And it's never leaving
I was granted a life
Only to be defeated
Everyone here
Has retreated
I reached out
But I was called clingy
If you cared
You still wouldn't see it
That I'm pointless
And have no meaning
Soon enough though
I'll be leaving
From this crap world
I was forced to breath in
Just breath
Then breath out
Close your eyes
Let it out
A final goodbye
I can see it now
No more pain
As my ashes are scattered upon the grounds
Only then will I not frown
Maybe now you'll even smile
Don't worry
It only hurts for a little while
Turn your cheek
It's too late now
My life is gone
Let me enter these gates now
Heaven or Hell
Hear my howl
Please come save me
I don't know how
Get me out of this vessel
Lay it far beyond the grounds
And never ever let it out
My soul is free
I can breath now
