motionless in time my instincts are a crime/eventually he'll see it's swirling into me/the air surrounds my mind/ i'm swimming through the sky/please liquefy my need/ i cannot learn to breathe/can't keep pretending not to hate/just take me down and shred my fate/this time you've got me bound and tied/ my turn is up, your time to hide/these anxious ties restraining me/forgive me now i must go free/ i'll liquefy your needs/you will not learn to breathe/there's no escaping now you see/'cause time is suffocating me/ i cannot learn to breathe/eventually i'll break away/control the gnawing urge to stay/forgive me now i must go free/i cannot learn to breathe
