This Is How I Breathe Lyrics


So I'm sitting here again

Facing my melting days

One small final curtain falls nearby

Moments raining, seconds fade

Slipping through my helpless grasp

How I wish to live those shining times

Once more

Bittersweet I'm looking back

At all the things that I have done

Memories sealed and locked up in the past

It's time now to tear down these walls

And throw myself into the wind

Time to rise

And watch colossal landscapes form

Colossal landscapes form

This is how I breathe

This is how I stand ablaze

This is how I am

This is how I give myself

This moment is mine

This is how I face the sun

This passage is for me

This is how I swim

This shoreless sea

Gazing out into the rain

Hearing the tolling distant bells

One small shadow creeps up cold within

As the whirling clouds roll by

I feel the bliss of this cold sting

Open my eyes to see the horizon is

Still wide

So I'm walking out again

Getting rid these dirt-stained clothes

Expose my scars to the rewarding sun

Moments raining, seconds kiss

With the dusk somewhere ahead

Its gentle whisper

Eternity's not up your sleeve

No eternity up your sleeve

This is how I breathe

This is how I stand ablaze

This is how I am

This is how I give myself

This moment is mine

This is how I face the sun

This passage is for me

This is how I swim

This shoreless sea

This is how I breathe

This is how I try to shine

This is how I am

This is how I stretch out my hand

This moment is mine

This is how I face the sun

This passage is for me

This is how I swim

This shoreless sea
