Barely Breathing

Barely breathing with all I have left in me
Facing harsh reality every single day
Fighting to stay strong as our innocence is scattered
As our golden years slip away.

Outside of everything
Accept for my own open mind
Self conscious towards the guilty
Who are never left behind.

I stand alone all by myself
As I help to take one for the underdogs
The ones who are destined to lose
No matter how strong we are
No matter how much feeling is shown.

I'll always look up to see the finish line
That has already been crossed
Then I'll turn back around
To find that we have already lost.


We're both innocent until proven guilty
But that isn't how it seems
For some are looked down upon
Until somebody opens up to see
But I'll wait keeping my look out
Barely breathing with all I have left in me.
