lyrics

What would I give to set you free?
Cast off these chains of misery
I’d give everything of my body and mind
To spare you grief of any kind

It’s your life and their game
You’re still breathing all the same
You’re still breathing all the same

You weren’t defeated
You stepped out of the void
You were scarred and beaten
But you were not destroyed

And when I look back at where we’ve been
All the bullets we dodged in that deep ravine
Feel kinda lucky just to make it in one piece
And I thank the day of our final release
I thank the day of our final release
Oh yeah, yes I do

There’s a card for fortune, a card for war
A card for healing every heart ache from before
You still breath, you still smile
World still turns and the sun still shines

It’s your life and their game
You’re still breathing all the same
You’re still breathing all the same
I’m so glad you’re breathing just the same
I’m so glad you’re breathing just the same
