So Hard to Breathe

The darkest light is hard to see
The waves keep tossing on
Sometimes it’s so hard to breathe
When you have never won

When in every step you slip and fall
In every breath you choke
With every blink you hit a wall
In every sight there’s smoke

Behind every smile there is a wound
Behind every lie, there’s truth
Every later comes too soon
Behind your fate is only you

You control the very sight you see
You control the words you hear
Either you hide or you break free
Don’t be trapped by fear
