Strength to Stay

Can you breathe, does it hurt

What's it like when you can see it coming when it takes all that you got just to speak

Can you hear every word as the morning comes and is all transforming

Would it make the slightest difference if you could see



And you wanna get out of here

Cause you don't have the strength to stay

And lost and confused you leave with the atmosphere

It's all we can do, It's all we can do



It's the mark and the scar

It's this all consuming act of silence as we walk out to the room in a daze

It's the sound of the car and the way the road will make the most sense

If we'd ever just quite figure out what it's saying

It's the back of the blade it's the dull but painful ache

Can it hurt, can it save



Cause you wanna get out of here

And you don't have the strength to stay

And lost and confused you leave with the atmosphere

It's all we can do to live and to long for yesterday



And when it takes all we have left to breathe

And everything we have inside to speak

You can't find the nerve when all you want is to bleed

Can we say that we're safe
