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
