…by a thread, still holding on
[×2]
To my demons
To every dying wish I've had of us leaving
This old ghost town
Still dragging us down
To…
…pull you out of this hell you've been living in
With the needle
And every dying wish I've had that you would clean up
Your ups…
…drown in
Still hoping, still waiting
Still breathing by a thread, still holding on
Still holding on
Still hoping, still waiting
Still breathing by a thread, still holding on…
…gettin dizzy and the sky is floating further away
I put the beat on repeat I got so much to say
And you're waiting you're not breathing…
…holding your breath
Thinking how you gonna live when you're surrounded by death?
We might be hiding in caves with all seven…
…every region
Every legion if you feelin' the heat
Keep your ear to the street
Listen in on your dreams
The world is not what it seems, so…
…gettin dizzy and the sky is floating further away
I put the beat on repeat I got so much to say
And you're waiting you're not breathing…
…holding your breath
Thinking how you gonna live when you're surrounded by death?
We might be hiding in caves with all seven…
…every region
Every legion if you feelin' the heat
Keep your ear to the street
Listen in on your dreams
The world is not what it seems, so…
…enough
Or is it time to let go
Cause I've been holding on enough
Been holding on so long that I've forgotten why
My body practically…
…and stare at the lines
Fuck a stereotype
Y'all don't know what I see
I try to tell you in a track
But y'all don't know what I mean
Even if I said…
…it straight without flowing discreet
All you fucking seem to focus on is bumping the beat
And now its fucking with me
It's like a hit in…
…enough
Or is it time to let go
Cause I've been holding on enough
Been holding on so long that I've forgotten why
My body practically…
…and stare at the lines
f*ck a stereotype
Y'all don't know what I see
I try to tell you in a track
But y'all don't know what I mean
Even if I said…
…it straight without flowing discreet
All you f*cking seem to focus on is bumping the beat
And now its f*cking with me
It's like a hit in…
…didn't like it, didn't like it
You said you wanted me to be myself
But then you hid my favorite dress on the bottom shelf
You wanted…
…for too long
Been turning blue for you for too long
[Bridge]
I've been holding out, I've been sucking in
But it's draining me…
…of my oxygen
I've been holding out, I've been sucking in
But it's draining me of my oxygen
[Chorus]
I won't hold my breath for you
I got so…

…waters crystal clear
You and I like to lay low
Sail out on a sailboat
Hold me tight in a stormy night
In the morning see…
…the rainbow
Spring flower i'm a pale rose
Do you see my halo
Dive into my ocean sea
You holding me
In this big deep blue sea
Breathing your…
…is my favorite time of year
You and I like to lay low
Sail out on a sailboat
Hold me tight in a stormy night
In the morning see…
If you're kizuki, i'll bury ya, tell me where's Kibutsuji
Making you smell the Wisteria i'll put you on Mt. Fuji
Running around in…
Leave you in the gutter, on attack
I can see you stutter
Now you're just another sucker
Who's unfortunately discovered
My raw power…
…can go rounds on the cold ground
Wrestling
Charge in head first
I don't ask no questions
Put you to a halt
You a little salt

[Shabazz The Disciple]
Yo yo yo yo yo
When I was young I mad an oath and it was solemn
To…
And jealous brothers on the block they tried to give us problems and
I started you jaking jewels on the A train
Til they blew up my man's praised in…
…sell 900,000, move my moms out of public housing
Be in the yacht showroom browsing
Before my journey after life, I'ma get even for you…
…give us problems and
I started you, jaking jewels on the A train
Til they blew up, my man's praised in the change game
Yea, I…
…shots at the dirt
Some little thugs with a vision to count a bill
Cuz made brothers got their wigs peeled on Sugar Hill
In…
The gambino latino without Mossimo
In a hip hop casino, cooking albums I split 'em like a kilo'
I'm trying to sell 900,000, move my moms out…
…blink when you get mad
Feel disarmed when you get sad
But turn to run when we fall back
On old behaviors
[Verse 3]
When…
It's hard to let your breath out when you're used to holding it
She'll go (ohh)
Got out through the window (ohh)
It's her (ohh…
…breath out when your used to holding it
She'll go (ohh)
Got out through the window (ohh)
It's her (ohh)
Maybe it's a shadow (ohh)
You…
…[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I've been awake for awhile
Trying to get You out of my mind
Now I…
…-ooh
[Verse 2]
I've been away on the other side
Anchored in over Your wild eyes
Now I can't shake it off
Can't shake the way You set…
…my soul on fire
And all I thought was to hide
Run away from Your side
Now I can't shake it off
Can't shake You out of my life…

…see it for myself
(But you're drifting away)
I don't wanna grow without you
And this waiting game is driving me insane
[Chorus]
Breathing in, breathing…
…[Chorus]
Breathing in, breathing out
Heavy thoughts come crashing in
Stupid love came in too soon
But you're there and I'm stuck in…
…the
Waiting room, waiting room
[Bridge]
Breathing in, breathing out
Holding on, hold on tight
Breathing in, breathing out
Let…
Brave the Darkness
Eyes are closed to Reality
Fading In, fading out
Letting my mind go
Moving Closer, Closer to you
Breathing…
…deep, yet silent
I drift away
Holding you in my thoughts
You slip away
Breathing deep, yet silent
I drift away
In this secret world…
A sweet emotion washes over me
I'm here with you
And you're here with me
Still holding, holding on to the past
Deep in…
…/
Painting murals on the soundscape, I see /
Different views, of the portrait, I dream /
Twilight hue canvas, I gleam /
Out…
…mountain top, skills / will /
Shatter your ceiling, ascending to stars /
Ascending to stars /
Holding my resonance, sharing…
…touch the wonders of life, including our own body. Then breathing in becomes a delight, and breathing out can also be a delight. You truly come to enjoy your breathing…
