You're doing all you can to keep your face intact
You only latch onto me to gain what you lack

I need some space to breathe
So stay away from me

Steady poking and prodding
You can't see the problem
Pushing me and pushing me
Now that'll never solve 'em

I need to make you see
You're suffocating me

You're just deadweight on my shoulders
Drew the line when they couldn't get any colder

I need some space to breathe
So stay away from me

Take your hands from around my throat
You've cut off my circulation
Now it's time to cut the rope

I need to make you see
You're suffocating me
I need a place to sleep
I've been awake for weeks

I can't find myself
'Cause there's nothing within
I don't know where I've been
Maybe I never did
Yeah, I guess I never did

Constantly looking out for myself
You're nothing but a hazard to my health

I need some space to breathe
So stay away from me

You stack the pressure on by the pound
Can't escape 'til I'm in the ground

I need to make you see
You're suffocating me

Stray from the center
Split from the mixture
Say what you want
But I'm stepping out the picture

I need some space to breathe
So stay away from me

You're pulling me under
And I'm fighting to find the surface
Let me reflect
I just need to find purpose
