nickwuh - breathing colors lyrics
[intro: evz]
to your friends okay for now, but i will [?] (laughter)
um, so today is our last show! um, and we have worked so hard+
we have spent hours and hours at school and i know today must be exhausting
we just did a show, and now we have another two and a half hours out on stage+
and it’s been a lot of work, but you guys have handled it with such grace, and passion, and talent
and, i cannot wait to be on stage with all of you+
[verse 1: k_m & nickwuh]
running out of energy
barely halfway through the week
paragraphs of worrying
feed my rumination
still, i keep on losing sleep
over my anxiety
picking petals desperately
do you still love me?
are you gonna hate me
after i get therapy
to fix the crippling ocd
defying all this gravity
that’s sending me to heaven
or somewhere in limbo
‘till i’m a good person
until i’m who i wanna be
does someone wanna take the time
to answer all these questions?
that i can never put to rest
my self examination
does someone wanna take my place
so i can get off the stage
pretending i can function
pretending i’m a person
when i’m half of who i could’ve been
if i started sooner
if i started normally, if i could see color
if the scale goes down, then does that mean
i’m losing every part of me
that’s not enough for everyone else?
[refrain: k_m]
can i stop to breathe?
[chorus: k_m]
wait a second
wait a second
wait a second
wait, a second chance
[interlude: evz]
um now to start off, i want+ you guys, this is a little bit of a strange breathing pattern
but it’s super helpful
breathing in for 4, holding for 7 and breathing out for 8, so let’s try it together
um, breathe in
1, 2
[verse 2: chazles & evz, w/ koen <3, & ] try to stop time, but it's never gonna work lest we destroy the world and we make it anew if you fall down, then i'll catch you (if you fall down, then i'll catch you) takin' solace in repetition of the silver+lined thoughts even if they're only silver plated and beginning to rust and when you feel helpless like a child (helpless like a child) we can sit down for a while (we can sit down for a while) and talk all about what's on your mind the start and the end, but never now in our lives do you wanna go? (go) do you wanna stay? (stay) we can go wherever you feel safe [refrain: chazles & evz] can i stop to breathe? [chorus: evz & k_m] wait a second wait a second wait a second wait a second [verse 3: k_m] i'm always chasing afterimages of a reality which has either already happened or doesn't yet exist and i believe it isn't healthy in the long run for my mental health to dwell on things i cannot change or influence in anyway but who's to say whether or not it's driving me insane? if i can fake a smile then that must mean i'm doing fine and not tryna rationalize the dissonance within my mind stemming from the rotting branches of a forgotten family tree thus, making me genetically predisposed to having less than ideal mental faculties and permanently miserable if i run away from everyone that i've ever loved then i can't hurt them anymore so, i'll close each open door for us [monologue: koen <3] it’s one o’clock from a sleeping house i hear shaky breath and a tear+moistened voice your grief trickles through the phone and forms a lake at my feet i am learning that love doesn’t work how i thought it did i expected to move mountains don bright armor and fight dragons instead, i am a voice on the phone running out of comforting things to say and some little part of me, bigger than i’d like to admit is frustrated by your grief because i know that if you had my eyes there would be no doubt about the love you deserve i am learning that there are no dragons to be slain or battles to be won all i have to hold you with are my words and a promise my words imperfect though they are will remind you that we will wade into those cold waters together clinging to each other for warmth [bridge: koen <3, nickwuh, ] if i can't give you everything then what kind of man does that make me safety in the details wish you'd see the bigger picture, darling [refrain: nickwuh & koen <3] can i stop to breathe? can i stop to breathe? [finale: nickwuh & k_m] this isn't me it's the voice in my head replaying fixations, i'm better off when i'm in your embrace, when i'm in your presence when i'm in the present i'll take a deep breath you've got all my faith my blood, sweat, and tears so be my escape when n0body's there if n0body's there then i'll talk to myself just like i've always been yeah i've always needed help but it'd be so much better if i could ground myself anchor my thoughts when i'm going through h+ll the warmth of the summer the ultimate comfort the path to recover the rush of breathing colors you've got all my faith (wait a second) my blood, sweat, and tears so be my escape (wait a second) when n0body's there if n0body's there (wait a second) then i'll talk to myself just like i've always been (wait a second) yeah, i've always needed help but it'd be so much better if i could ground myself (wait a second) anchor my thoughts when i'm going through h+ll (wait a second) the warmth of the summer (wait a second) the ultimate comfort the path to recover (wait a second) the rush of breathing colors (wait a second) (wait a second) (wait a second) (wait a second) [outro: nickwuh] hey, um+ so we haven't talked in a while and i know we weren’t really on good terms but i just want you to know that i’m still thinking of you, that i still want to be here and that i’ve got you if you’re ever in need, i’ve got you always, and always, and always. okay? i’ll see you later [encore: k_m] love yourself + it’s hard to do when you see all the flaws in you so close your eyes and turn away from all the doubt racking your brain you know you always come first it’s us against the universe i’m here until the day i die as long as you’re by my side [credits: evz] so let that sit for a little while+ um, you can get up when you're comfortable keep breathing for as long as you need let's sit in the silence and colors+ great show, everyone
