Breathing Knives

Breathing Knives By Kevin Robey October 29, 2013 Verse 1 With all I can’t un-hide There’s beauty left inside With all I can’t deny There’s nowhere left to lie To those who cannot see The reason for my misery To those who can’t relate Here’s something to contemplate Chorus 1 I can’t break through I can’t despise This idolized disguise I can’t see clearly Breathing knives Fighting for my life Verse 2 For everything I’ll never know I’ll give my shine, I’ll let it show For everything I’ll never taste I’ll give you mine, won’t go to waste To anyone who sees like me Follow me and let’s be free To anyone who won't outrun Lies we left, when we were done Chorus (repeat) I can’t break through I can’t despise This idolized disguise I can’t see clearly Breathing knives Fighting for my life Verse 3 Maybe it will be all right No reasons left to fight Maybe it is just a dream That's bursting at the seams One day soon I think I’ll know It’s better now than it will show One day soon I’ll change my ways I think I’ll start, maybe today Chorus 3 I’m breaking through I’m shining bright This never ending light I’m seeing farther Breathing right This never ending fight
