Stale

Great sadness
You can't teach this
Stale air
I can't burst out
I spent three years
Questioning my existence
In a half filled lecture hall
Hungover and lethargic

Fill your lungs
With what makes you happy
I've been breathless
Since I can remember
I used to have colour in my face
I want to feel this burn my back
A frank and blunt reminder
I'm still dwelling on the past

Contrast of colour
My head against the wall
It knocks me back
As if I could never walk
Socially Inconvenient
Futile at the best of times
I lack patience
Failing to present anything of substance

Fill your lungs
With what makes you happy
I've been breathless
Since I can remember
I used to have colour in my face
I want to feel this burn my back
A frank and blunt reminder
I'm still dwelling on the past

You asked me
How my search went
Well I didn't get very far
It's harder to breath
Than it ever was to pretend

What do you want to take from me
Cause you can have it all
You can have it all
What do you want from me
You can have it all
You can have it all

Fill your lungs
With what makes you happy
I've been breathless
Since I can remember
I used to have colour in my face
I want to feel this burn my back
A frank and blunt reminder
I'm still dwelling on the past
