There is a selling point for war and tragedy   It keeps us always wanting more   We live for promises of gold   Tainted by the distress of being second best   This is the time for giving up and letting go   Of everything you’d live to regret   There is not shelter here   Just pain and sweat and solace   It makes us who we are   And so we grow…and so we grow and progress   Head above the world, feet beneath us fail   Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats   Take a second breath.   Believe you’re never coming back   As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in   And we find ourselves quiet…   Every breath you took comes rushing in   And so we grow in spite of holding on, in spite of letting go,   In spite of always wanting more   Air expands, we struggle, we falter, we decide   We’ll never return…and so we grow and progress   Head above the world, feet beneath us fail   Until we learn to swim the waves crash down our throats   Take a second breath.   Believe you’re never coming back   As the last light lingers every breath you took comes rushing in   With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in   With no destination…nowhere to begin   With all this oxygen, we’ll breath the world in   With no destination…nowhere to begin   We’ll breathe the world in
