Breath of Freedom
Hives

Verse 1:
I wake up in a world that doesn’t see,
The colors of my soul, they’re lost, they’re free.
Staring at the mirror, the mask I wear,
Expectations heavy, it's too much to bear.

Chorus:
I’m suffocating, can’t break through,
In a box of norms, I’m feeling blue.
Let me breathe, let me be,
I want to live, let my mind roam free.

Verse 2:
Voices in my head, they call my name,
Telling me to follow, play the game.
But in my heart, there's a fire, a spark,
To break the chains that keep me in the dark.

Chorus:
I’m suffocating, can’t break through,
In a box of norms, I’m feeling blue.
Let me breathe, let me be,
I want to live, let my mind roam free.

Bridge:
Every whispered doubt, every pointed finger,
Feels like a shackle that pulls me deeper.
But I’ll rise from the ashes, reclaim my voice,
I’ll dance to my own beat; I’ll make my choice.

Chorus:
I’m suffocating, but now I see,
The strength within is the real me.
I will breathe, I will fight,
No more hiding, I’ll step into the light.

Outro:
So let them talk, let them judge,
I’m breaking out; I won’t hold a grudge.
With every breath, I’ll shed my fear,
In the breath of freedom, I’ll persevere.
