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

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 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
