Breathe In Two Voices

Help me to breathe When the heat pulls me down Help me to breathe When no hope can be found Help me to breathe Force a new breath down my throat Help me to breathe You are my only hope When my voice is iced up solid And the whole world is gone And all the faith you put in me Seems to be undone When I’m suffocating under All the things I’ve done Help me to breathe Help me to breathe Help me to breathe so I can run I’ll help you breathe When you’re burning up again I’ll help you breathe When you’re broken on the ground I’ll help you breathe Drawn miasma from your throat I’ll help you breathe When you think you’ve lost all hope When you’re quite and so cold And all the people disappear When you try to push me away Because you’re over come with fear When the pain comes back to haunt you And your heart comes undone I’ll help you breathe I’ll help you breathe I’ll help you breathe so you can run
