Oxygen

In case you hear me, you might be listening
'Cause you're always around me when I feel like I'm blistering
When I'm choking, when I'm down in the deepest of all the bottoms
So if you hear me say hi, 'cause I need to tell you something

I try to go, you hold me close
I felt your branches became my roots
I try to go, you call me home
I know I will surrender

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul

Do you remember the first time you got me down, four years ago?
It has been the first time I got you to know

I try to go, you hold me close
I felt your branches became my roots
I try to go, you call me home
I know I will surrender

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul

You take my oxygen
You steal the air that I breathe
You take my oxygen
You pin me down and watch me bleed

What I am, is what you've made of me
Pull me down, crawling under my skin
What I am, is what you've made of me
You chew me up, spit me out and watch me bleed

I try to go, you hold me close
I try to go, you call me home

So I
I pray for a remedy
I'm begging you to have mercy
On me
On my trembling, crooked soul
