Air Hunger (Country Version)

I can’t breathe in and out and you tell me to settle down
Thoughts of frustration cause me to suffocate and drown
I advocate for myself but you didn’t hear the words I spoke
There’s never enough pure air around to help me not choke

Now breathe

Am I making this up, this figment of my imagination
Am I doubting myself of what feels like asphyxiation
You tell me to take in deep breaths that I cannot ever find
You tell me and others that I must be out of my mind

And I inhale, sigh
And exhale, sigh
To get out of this Hell, sigh
I must compel

Life is too short to not go with your gut instinct
It does not matter how many others don’t believe
Now breathe

Am I making this up, this figment of my imagination
Am I doubting myself of what feels like asphyxiation
You tell me to take in deep breaths that I cannot ever find
You tell me and others that I must be out of my mind

And I inhale, sigh
And exhale, sigh
To get out of this Hell, sigh
I must compel

With all I’ve been through, I am on my knees before you
I plead for your mercy and for others to know the truth
Now breathe

And I inhale, sigh
And exhale, sigh
To get out of this Hell, sigh
I must compel
