Breathe (pt 1)

Today I looked up how long it would take to drown Today I looked up how long it would take to drown How long can you hold your breath Before you can't hold your breath any longer? How long until your lungs give out? And the sound that used to fill the void Quiets like a mouse at midnight Searching for it's piece of the pie Today I stood in front of a window And imagined what it would be like to fly No, I didn't I imagined what it would be like To jump outside the frame that caged me inside But my better judgement said it wouldn't be very kind If someone you cared about found you That's the voice that plays like a tape on rewind Rewind Rewind It's wouldn't be fair to stranger either Today I'm reminded of the time I watched a man Jump into a highway when I was just seventeen The car lights on either side of the upper portion of the Auto route below Standing at attention Staring off into the distance Just waiting for the road to clear And the way to comfort of their loved ones to be made Death is a strange and hollow inconvenience When you think about it There's a blank face That quickly and abruptly find it's way to all the witness something of that magnitude
