lyrics

I lay awake on a cold, dark floor & I tell myself I've been here before.
But it doesn't make it easier, no it doesn't make it easier.
You've taken all your things & you stripped my walls & you would never think you'd been here before.
But it doesn't make it easier, no it doesn't make it easier.

To breathe in fire & expect it not to burn.

I'm holding on to everything I own 'cause it's the only way I feel I'm not alone. And I wish that I could speak to ghosts 'cause you're not here & I fear that I'll lose my way. I'll make it back someday, I swear; I'll be on my way.

I shuffle things & I break my back, just like the good old days when it hadn't cracked.
I hope to God it gets easier, Yes I hope to God it gets easier.
I've hung my record sleeves and rebuilt myself but I still can't believe that this isn't hell.
I hope to God it gets easier, Yes I hope to God it gets easier.

To breathe in fire & expect it not to burn.

I'm holding on to everything I own 'cause it's the only way I feel I'm not alone. And I wish that I could speak to ghosts 'cause you're not here & I fear that I'll lose my way. I'll make it back someday, I swear; I'll be on my way.

You don't know how this came to be.
You don't know what it's like for me;

To breathe in fire & expect it not to burn.

I'm holding on to everything I own 'cause it's the only way I feel I'm not alone. And I wish that I could speak to ghosts 'cause you're not here & I fear that I'll lose my way. I'll make it back someday, I swear; I'll be on my way.
