Zeus - Breathing (Angel Mix)

Zeus - Breathing (Lyrics) [Intro — whispered, close, with slap bass ghost notes] Breathe in. Breathe out. Stay here. Stay now. [Verse 1 — tight slap-bass groove, low vocal] I saw you standing where the light gets thin, Hands gone cold with the dark closing in. You said the future had forgotten your name, Like every tomorrow was just more of the same. So I put my voice where the silence bled, Pulled one more sunrise into your chest. Not a saviour, not a saint, not clean, Just another broken pulse between. [Pre-Chorus — rising tension] Hold on, hold on, don’t disappear, There’s still a sound that needs you here. One more second, one more sign, Take my lungs and borrow mine. [Chorus — huge melodic hook] Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me, Till the future starts to feel real. Breathing, Pulling us through, If I keep you alive, Maybe something in me can heal. Stay awake, stay alive, There’s a tomorrow underneath this pain. Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me again. [Verse 2 — heavier groove, funk-metal bounce] I’ve been the hands on a heart that quit, Pressing rhythm into emptiness. CPR for a soul gone numb, Counting hope where the black thoughts come. You were sinking in a room full of air, Everybody looked but nobody stared. So I screamed your name through the static and smoke, Till the dead little spark in your eyes woke. [Pre-Chorus — more desperate] Hold on, hold on, I know that sound, The silent way a mind shuts down. One more breath before you go, Let me fight what you don’t show. [Chorus — bigger, gang vocals underneath] Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me, Till the future starts to feel real. Breathing, Pulling us through, If I keep you alive, Maybe something in me can heal. Stay awake, stay alive, There’s a tomorrow underneath this pain. Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me again. [Bridge — stripped, bass and heartbeat kick] But who breathes for the one Who breathes for everyone? Who sees the cracks in the hands That pull you from the flood? I gave you air, I gave you time, I gave you every light I had inside. Now I’m burned out, blacked out, barely alive, Still forcing one more breath to survive. [Breakdown — heavy, syncopated, shouted] I saved your lungs but I lost my own! I dragged you back but I’m still alone! Chest full of thunder, throat full of smoke! Somebody drag me back before I choke! Breathe in! Breathe out! Stay here! Stay now! Breathe in! Breathe out! Don’t let me go down! [Final Chorus — emotional, massive] Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me, Till the future starts to feel real. Breathing, Pulling us through, If I keep you alive, Maybe something in me can heal. Stay awake, stay alive, There’s a tomorrow underneath this pain. Breathing, Breathing for you, Breathing in me again. [Outro — soft, exhausted, hopeful] Breathe in. Breathe out. I’m here. Stay now. Breathe in. Breathe out. The future needs to be real.
