BROKEN CHAIN:
Chorus:
OH... Yeaaaah.....

Dear God,

It is a common belief that learning, true learning does not take place

Without mistakes made along the way

I’ve made my fair share, 

And there’s a lot of realisations I’ve come to today

I am the scrawler of my racing...

Learning to Breathe

Just like any other, it usually, starts with just sitting still 
Except my mind is racing at free will
My fingers tapping two by two, 
My breath gets shorter, “who are you?”
Collect yourself before...

In this midnight city of mass millions
You admit, you have pride
You can stand independently
With confidence
Dancing in the light
But you have to admit
You detest it as well
