Just breathe
I've been running for a longtime
I can hear my heartbeat
It's been echoing in my mind
All night

Getting lost in my dreams
Can't sleep, all the work I've been doing only works against me
I need relief
'Cause the only thing I'm building is the pressure in me

I'd rather die
Standing up tall
Father said son
Even empires fall
Straighten your spine
Break every wall
Fear runs your mind if you give it control
You'll be stuck in this town for a lifetime
Waiting around for the right time
So straighten your spine
Answer the call
'Cause fear is the bullet that's killing us, killing us all

If I stay
I may as well put myself in a coffin
Dig my own grave
I'll be helping them lower that box in
Done clocking in living life on your time
I call it a noose while you call it a tie
I gotta choose do, I live or live to survive

I'd rather die
Standing up tall
Father said son
Even empires fall
Straighten your spine
Break every wall
Fear runs your mind if you give it control
You'll be stuck in this town for a lifetime
Waiting around for the right time
So straighten your spine
Answer the call
'Cause fear is the bullet that's killing us, killing us all

I've been running
Been running
I've been running all my life
Can't do nothing
Do nothing
Gotta build something before my time
