Hand to my heart This is where I have to begin What I ever really found was my heartbeat When it even haunts me in my sleep I feel the pressure rising from the inside Crawling to the surface but how can I My throat is sore and I can't breathe The noose is getting tighter the more that I move We've lost the way, put me beneath Break my heart so I can breathe It's like I'm getting dragged out of this world again To fight this fear is like it never ends I try to run, I try to run from myself But I am in fear of the fear itself But I am in fear of the fear itself But I am in fear of the fear itself From all I bleed, from all I suffocate They're telling me I can't escape my fate My eyes are closed, a ledge, me standing there And even though I'm drowning in despair We're tired and broken of giving in I know this light in me and it will rise from within Keep my hopes up as high as the mountaintop But my heart keeps on pounding within my throat My throat is sore and I can't breathe The noose is getting tighter the more that I move We've lost the way, put me beneath Break my heart so I can breathe (They're telling me I can't escape my fate) Please get me out these days I find the strength to cut me loose from this craze I am so tired of giving in I tell my heart this is where I have to begin To fight this fear is like it never ends I try to run, I try to run from myself But I am in fear of the fear itself It's like getting dragged out of this world again To fight this fear is like it never ends I try to run, I try to run from myself But I am in fear of the fear itself
