How do you breathe

When your lungs have been torn away

It’s like trying to see without eyes

The beauty of a new spring day

But mostly what i really want to know

Is how a human heart can beat

When it’s gone to a place that you can’t go?

So you sit in the dark

And wait for a new sun rise

You hold your hands over your mouth

To keep in all of the desperate cries

At the memory of those long lost wondrous nights

That haunt you in your empty sleep

I want to know how to breathe

When you’ve lost the one and only thing

You always thought you’d keep?
