Breathe Lyrics - From The Roots Up - Delilah

I am strong when I'm quiet 

I never let you see me stall 

I can hate what you say and still smile 

Only play on an open court 

I am the ringleader of my own circle 

Fall on my knees and I won't bleed 

Set me on fire and I'll fall to sleep 

The pain of my scolds sets me free 

I can not Breathe (yeah) 

Let me be free (yeah) from myself 

Drown me in silence and suddenly I'm floating 

I rip me apart with one look 

Use my heart as a crutch for my ego 

And hope that I never never fall in love 

I can not Breathe (yeah) 

Let me be free (yeah) from myself 

I must survive 

This wonderful punishment called life 

Use my heart and unravel it 

My innocence is all gone 

Torn apart and I can't handle it 

My innocence is all gone 

I can not Breathe (yeah) 

Let me be free (yeah) from myself 

I must survive 

This wonderful punishment called life 

This wonderful punishment called life
