Hardly Breathe

I can't seem to focus It's hopeless unless the sky opens Look you in the eyes and all I see is a blur hopin' That my previous mindstate Could be resurrected, to the old me It's like you had me injured with imperfection How could you be so reckless? I initially meant it Seems like you put your effort into me, what am I left with? Nothing but a canvas with a black and white portrait Of me and you, in a burnin' garden of scorchin' orchids Simple beauty that's bein torn down by your power That consistantly pounds on my soul hour after hour Now I can hardly breathe, get rid of these memories Continually hunting me, can't change who I've come to be The darkness only ends as soon as you open your eyes And you hope to realize that hope is cloaked in disguise Again I look you in the eyes and all I see is a blur But when I look in the mirror I can see who you were Nothing I can say or do Will take away what I've been through What you were is what I've come to be Nothing you can say to me Will take away these memories What you were is what I've come to be (What I've come to be) (What I've come to be) This sky opens wide, to swallow me again Once I am inside, I'm lost and can't pretend These pictures in my mind are not a part of me These memories all the time till I can hardly breathe (breathe breathe breathe breathe breathe) I can hardly breathe (breathe breathe breathe breathe breathe) I can hardly stop the memories Nothing I can say or do Will take away what I've been through What you were is what I've come to be Nothing you can say to me Will take away these memories What you were is what I've come to be (What I've come to be) (What I've come to be) Hardly breathe (hardly breathe) Memories (memories) Haunting me (haunting me) Come to be (come to be) Hardly breathe(hardly breathe) Memories (memories) Haunting me (haunting me) Come to be (come to be) Hardly breathe Memories (can't change) Haunting me (can't change) come to be Hardly breathe Memories (can't change) Haunting me (can't change) come to be I can hardly breathe (Now I can hardly breathe) I can hardly breathe (Now I can hardly breathe) I can hardly stop the memories Nothing I can say or do Will take away what I've been through What you were is what I've come to be Nothing you can say to me Will take away these memories What you were is what I've come to be
