People have always told me
That when I feel like
I'm about to drown
Just to remember to breathe.
"Okay,"
I whisper to myself.
"It's alright,
Just remember to breathe..."
Breathe,
Breathe,
Just breathe.
It can't seem to stop,
The waves are crashing in,
I feel the wind hit my back
And knock me down.
Just...
Just breathe...
Breathe,
Breathe,
Breathe.
Why is it not working?
I hear their words,
Talking trash about me
And making up rumors.
They're whistling in my ears--
Just breathe,
Remember to just breathe.
Breathe,
Why can't you just breathe?
Reach out,
Reach up,
Grab something,
Anything.
Just breathe,
Let the water be pushed away
By the air bubbles.
Stop.
Calm down.
Just remember to breathe.
That's all you have to do.
Just breathe.
You'll be okay,
Just...
Just breathe,
Come on,
You can do it.
Why can't I breathe?
Why am I suffocating?
Why,
Why,
Why?
I'm trying to remember to breathe
But the water just keeps coming,
The stress just keeps coming,
The sadness just keeps coming.
Why won't it go away?
Just breathe.
You'll be fine.
No, you won't.
Yes, you will.
No,
No, you won't.
Yes,
Yes, you will.
I just need to
Remember to breathe.
I can do that, right?
The simple biological, engraved task,
Can't I?
Just remember to breathe,
Just breathe,
That's all you have to do.
But it's too late...
I'm already drowning.
