While I Breathe I Hope - Suckerpunch Lyrics

clock hits AM once again
blood shot eyes
and callused fingers
the purple glass
the fear that lingers x2

maybe just a brush with suicide
but I’m not that desperate and never could be
no matter how bad I’m dying inside
at least I can keep one half of me alive
the phone is silent
but my ears are ringing
the call I missed because I’m clinging
to yesterday or maybe last week
my calendar’s just numbers to me
can’t I spend one nite in peace

these requests I fear are to much
buried deep below my feet
shake the ground as I try to clutch
the first thing I can get my hands on
you always scream I have to let go
who asked you I just want silence
not a penny from your mindless thoughts
that I go over a thousand times
people passing without smiles
in a place where I think their god resides x2
oh God I’ve lost all control but I know
I had it coming, it just laid low x3

no signs of warning
but a suckerpunch break my legs
And I fall to my knees
but maybe it’s where I’m supposed to be (x3)
