LYRICS: Dax – I Can’t Breathe

Have you ever felt this weight on your chest
That makes it feel like you can’t breathe?
I have

I can’t breathe
I’m struggling finding the balance between what I want and I need
I’ve been playing with God
But it feels like the devils been coaching the team
I got so much to say but anxiety whispers and tells me, “Don’t speak”
I been living on earth but one day I’ll go shock ’em and live in my dreams

I been lost in mind for a minute, I’m searching for somewhere to go
I look right at my mom and I cry, ’cause I wish she didn’t have to get old
I got all of these people around me but why do I still feel alone?
I got all this money, I just bought a house
But with nobody in it it isn’t a home
All of these contacts inside of my phone
But I can’t come in contact with someone to hold
Sometimes I sit in the shower and cry
‘Cause the water disguises my tears in the flow
Look in mirror I don’t see a soul
Looking for love when I’m on the road
This isn’t song, this is poem, God

I can’t breathe
I’m not even tired, but I just want to sleep
I’m drowning in pain, it’s getting too deep
This weight is enormous
I’m crying for help but don’t nobody see
I’m at war in my head everyday, I’ve been screaming and fighting for peace
I’m hurt, my hearts full of rage
My life is a book that they can’t even read
‘Cause I’m beeding on every page
Our people are dying too young, man
We’re tired of commenting all on their page
We just said a prayer for one who woke up, and another was taken away
Let me know if it’s better in space
I wanted the money I got and now that I’m rich I have nothing to chase
I’d rather be happy and broke than rich with no one to love everyday
I know everybody relates
I hope that you hear while I pray
Me say, God

I can’t breathe
I’m on my knees
I’m begging you please
They left me for dead, created a storm
They thought I would drown, but they didn’t know that I am a sea
And yes I’m looking for help
I wanted to love but I couldn’t love, ’cause I didn’t love my self
I’m done blaming everyone else
No more blaming everyone else
From now on I’m blaming myself

I can’t breathe
I’m struggling finding the balance between what I want and I need
I’ve been playing with God
But it feels like the devils been coaching the team
I got so much to say but anxiety whispers and tells me, “Don’t speak”
I been living on earth but one day I’ll go shock ’em and live in my dreams
I’m struggling finding the balance between what I want and I need
I’ve been playing with God
But it feels like the devils been coaching the team
I got so much to say but anxiety whispers and tells me, “Don’t speak”
I been living on earth but one day I’ll go shock ’em and live in my dreams

I can’t breathe
Not tired but I sleep
I cry, yes I weep
They don’t know what I need

I can’t breathe
I’m struggling finding the balance between what I want and I need
I’ve been playing with God
But it feels like the devils been coaching the team
I got so much to say but anxiety whispers and tells me, “Don’t speak”
I been living on earth but one day I’ll go shock ’em and live in my dreams
