I used to be afraid to sleep out underneath the stars
But now I embrace the lonely mass of ancient gods
Lord knows I know what it's like to lack a purpose
I've waited every day hoping for my moment

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I breathe to your lungs, an effort in your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never gonna make it out of here alive
God damn the oceans that split between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I'd better run away if I want to survive

I used to be afraid to walk alone out in the dark
Now I embrace the emptiness that's in my heart
Heaven knows I'm waiting for death to come and take me
I'd rather be with you than alone with those who made me

Everyone I love is always far away from me
(Can't you see)
Everyone I love is always far away from me

I breathe to your lungs, an effort in your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never gonna make it out of here alive
God damn the oceans that split between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I'd better run away if I want to survive

I don't need anyone to tell me
You're the only thing I have left
Everyone in my life has faded
Please tell me this isn't dead
Everyone in my life has left me
Everyday is another test
To see if I can take this stress
Without it driving me to drink

Because I'd rather find another way

I breathe to your lungs, an effort in your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never gonna make it out of here alive
God damn the oceans that split between our lives
Everyone is telling me that I'd better run away if I want to survive

I breathe to your lungs, an effort in your bright eyes
Everyone is telling me that I'm never gonna make it out of here alive
