Third Round Breathing - PowerFlower

A dynamic metal song about mixed martial arts fighting. Lyrics: Tape on my wrists Mouthpiece in I taste the fear Blue corner bouncing Hear your song in my other ear We touch gloves Then the world shrinks small and mean Just you Just me Just the bright white of the ring You feint high I feel wind on my brow Calm heart Slow breath I’m not losing it now My coach yelling numbers But it’s thunder in my skull Every scar a map Every breath a pull This is where I live Third round breathing Hands up Chin down Heart still beating Blood in my eye Crowd just screaming I don’t back off I keep on leading This is where I live Third round breathing You can take my air But not my meaning You shoot low I sprawl Hips heavy on your neck Canvas on my toes Sweat making every step a wreck Short elbow sneaks in I feel bone on bone You blink You slip I see doubt like a crack in stone Clock ticking wicked I’m counting in my head One mistake One slip I’ll be staring at the edge I hear my name echo Like it’s someone I don’t know But my hands remember Every combo Every flow This is where I live Third round breathing Hands up Chin down Heart still beating Blood in my eye Crowd just screaming I don’t back off I keep on leading This is where I live Third round breathing You can take my air But not my meaning We’re both glass About to shatter (oh-oh) Trading ghosts More than matter Your hook glances My vision goes gray I bite down harder I walk through anyway This is where I live Third round breathing Hands up Chin down Heart still beating Blood in my eye Crowd just screaming I don’t back off I keep on leading This is where I live Third round breathing You can take my air But not my meaning
