ANACRUSIS - A SCREAMING BREATH lyrics

Are we so brave?

Are we so bold

As to deny our hearts?

Are we so numb?

Are we so cold

As to defy our conscience?

Awkwardly, we walk alone

So distant and so uncaring

Deliberately we disguise ourselves

To protect our frail emotions

The ability to feel and be,

Somewhere in me,

Is longing to free...

This screaming breath

Breathe...

Selfishly, we retain and horde

Everything and yet, nothing at all

A poisoned soul can never soar

When bound by doubt and by fear

Awkwardly, we walk alone

So distant and so uncaring

Deliberately we disguise ourselves

To protect our frail emotions

The ability to feel and be,

Somewhere in me,

Is longing to free...

This screaming breath

Breathe...

Are we so brave?

Are we so bold

To hide from things we long to show

Are we so numb?

Are we so cold

As to lose the self to self-control?

The ability to feel and be,

Somewhere in me,

Is longing to free...

This screaming breath

Breathe...
