"Dilated" lyrics - ATREYU

Yesterday I forgot to breathe for like the sixth time this week.
Maybe it was the pink cloud strafed sky
That changed my mind and brought me back
Seems like every day it's kill or be killed

With all this anger we can not progress
With all this anger there is no time to inhale and progress
And catch the smell of something that you once knew

Have you ever stopped
Raised your face up to the sun and screamed
Let it out
Exhale the pain
That strangulates your soul

When will I be free
My lungs take in the fragrance of remorse
What is the cost
Am I living
If you let your lungs fill up with pain
Then you will drown in your own regret

My arms feel so numb
My heart palpitates missing a beat
The blood freezing in my veins
The taste of rust in my mouth
But today I just threw it all away

Though the light burns my eyes I will not be blind,
If you blink you could miss so much.
Please don't ever close your eyes
