“Breath of Air”

​Dreams that haunt me now forever
Shadows lurking from my past
No more longing for tomorrow
Hope today shall be my last
Seems that I've grown weary
Cried my River dry
Hoping love will find me
And praying it would die
On your breath of air you're smothering me
On your breath of air I can't breathe
So tell me why life tempts me
She taunts me in these ways
So close to feel your breathing
Yet lost when brought the day
And hell I've been through can't compare
To just one day
And all these painful premonitions
Are all the blown away
On your breath of air you’re smothering me
On your breath of air I can't breathe
I wish that I could change you
To change your evil ways
But hope was like those premonitions
They're all but blown away
I wish you could hear me screaming
With every hand you lay
I wish you wouldn't play these games
I don't want to play
In your breath of air you're smothering me
On your breath of air I can't breathe
