Breathe Deep

Once in a while
I see myself
No longer enchanted
By the future or the past
I break the spell
Once in awhile
It’s crystal clear
The shadows, the light
Even my scars overnight
They disappear
If every breath is sacred
God, I want to breathe
Deep enough to feel something
Deep enough to believe
Once in awhile
It all sinks in
I try to keep my head
Above the water
God knows, but I can’t swim
Once in a while
I put up a fight
I write another song
And sing it with all my might
Renegotiate the terms
Of this terminal life
I put up a fight
If every breath is sacred
God, I want to breathe
Deep enough to feel something
Deep enough to believe
That every breath is sacred
God, I want to breathe
Deep enough to feel something
Deep enough to believe
Please show me how to breathe deep
Please show me how to breathe deep
If every breath is sacred
God, I want to breathe
Deep enough to feel something
Deep enough to believe
