There's a rose that blooms

Through the cracks in the concrete

Staining the prison floor

There's a pilgrimage waiting

Sat at the doorstep

Rotting beneath the sun

When there's nowhere left to hide, we'll be searching for a shortcut

Ire and denial are as thick as thieves

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

Tell me how to coexist when a fraction only wants war

Hopelessly in love with our gritted teeth

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe, I forgot to breathe

And look who's on the throne now

I'm a dead heretic

With no storm left to weather

Afraid to admit

It won't sustain the spirit

A new counterfeit

Like flight without feathers

Ready to submit

It won't sustain the spirit

It won't sustain the spirit

So we fall to our knees

And beg for reprieve

But it's almost time for the curtain call

The apostles will sing

And lead us from sin

But they hold all of our bones in their hands

We all swim against the tide until it puts us on the back foot

Nothing's ever taste half as good as grief

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

'Cause I'm staring at a fist and it's asking if I want more

Clarity will visit but it's only brief

Soon there'll be nothing left of me, nothing left of me

Don't forget to breathe, don't forget to breathe

Don't forget to breathe

I'm a dead heretic

With no storm left to weather

Afraid to admit

It won't sustain the spirit

A new counterfeit

Like flight without feathers

Ready to submit

It won't sustain the spirit

It won't sustain the spirit

It won't sustain the spirit

It won't sustain the spirit

It won't sustain the spirit
