Second Breath - Arcane Roots

With dead weight and back hands

We formed the black hand

And we’re holding on

With bated hearts

We broke the beckoned

And we loathed the seconds that we

Gave too long

We won’t be long

We won’t be second

We won’t be second

When I hold you up

We aren’t like people you know

We are the people with air in our lungs

So give it a rest

We won’t be second

We won’t be second

When I hold you up

We won’t be second

We won’t be second

When I hold you up

We aren’t like people you know

We are the people with air in our lungs

So give it a rest

So save them, save them

Your little lies and fodder

No regrets, regrets

You won’t go any further

So now we’re coming up for air

I didn’t need a second breath

Holding to what we knew

With every twitch your body makes

I feel the air inside escape

Choking, we are renewed

So breathe in, so breathe in

So breathe in, so breathe in

So breathe in, so breathe in

So breathe in, so breathe in

Lay your body down

You know it’s better believed

So when you feel like the inertia’s died

When you feel the fires align

We all know you can erase in time

So just hold on

There will be no toxins or lairs in our eyes

We will be the love lost and bitter tides

So give your breath to me

Give your breath to me

We will
