[Intro]
G Em
The ashy blacks of my fingertips
C D
Just like clouds on a stormy night
G Em
Cloud that crowd my lungs
C D
Gasping for air like a child
G Em
I didn't want this,
C D
but I thought of it, yeah
G Em
Every night, waking up
C
Gasping for breath
D
Once again like a child
G Em
My worst nightmare
C D
Losing myself and everyone else in one swift instance
[Verse]
G
Why can't I talk about it
Em
and not just think about it?
C D
That tower crashing down on me and dying instantly
G Em
Like my ancestors; like my parents will
C
Just like I might at any second
D
Without the chance of saying...
[Chorus]
G C D
I can't breathe, with this shit on me
G C D
I can't breathe, what's expected of me
G C D
I can't breathe, my responsibilities
G C D
I can't breather, take it away from me
G
Oh
