lyrics

The cold was irredeemable,
We rolled about and spent the whole night sighing.
Maybe I should should talk a little less
About how we’re all slowly dying.

But maybe I’m just the one who has t changed enough,
Your favorite worn out coat, just hanging all alone.
I thought that itd be enough to keep me in the right,
But lord I guess I’ve never been so damn wrong.

How’m I gonna live?
How’m I gonna live without it?
Running out of air,
Nothing I can do about it.
Did I ever care enough?
I guess you doubt it,
And now I’m left
Without my breath
Without my breath

Another spiral cut,
I’m just another stubborn cork you can’t get open.
So I twist it deeper, put it on myself
Til our communications broken.

But maybe I’m just a dumb defensive animal
Just waiting on another friend to do me harm
I thought it’d be enough to keep me in the right
But lord I guess I’ve never been so damn wrong

How’m I gonna live?
How’m I gonna live without it?
Running out of air,
Nothing I can do about it.
Did I ever care enough?
I guess you doubt it,
And now I’m left
Without my breath

And what’s left if I can’t have you anymore?
What’s left if I keep pushing at you now?
I don’t wanna know
I can’t be alone

How’m I gonna live?
How’m I gonna live without it?
Running out of air,
Nothing I can do about it.
Did I ever care enough?
I guess you doubt it,
And now I’m left
Without my breath

How’m I gonna live?
How’m I gonna live without it?
Running out of air,
Nothing I can do about it.
Did I ever care enough?
I guess you doubt it,
And now I’m left
Without my breath
Without my breath
