Oxygen Machine
Ethan Hodges
I'm here
You're there
And we meet somewhere in between
You dress your best
But I've worn this shirt since last week
You're living life
Whilst I spend mine asleep
I don't think that you got much left
You're out of air
My oxygen machine
I know you care
But don't hold your breath for me
For me
You're tryna fly whilst I'm tied up around your feet
Oh please
Just cut me loose
So you can get to where you're meant to be
My oxygen machine
Don't hold your breath for me
I steal
Your time
Just so I can escape
These words and white lies
To make you think that I'm okay
But I know
Inside
You're taking all my pain
I don't think that you got much left
You're out of air
My oxygen machine
I know you care
But don't hold your breath for me
For me
You're tryna fly whilst I'm tied up around your feet
Oh please
Just cut me loose
So you can get to where you're meant to be
My oxygen machine
Don't hold your breath for me
Don't hold your breath for me
I can't let you love me
I can't watch you fade
Just so I can survive
As the light in your eyes
Is swamped out by the grey
I can't take your comfort
I can't watch you stay
Just so I can survive
As the light in your eyes slowly fades away
Don't hold your breath for me
For me
You're tryna fly whilst I'm tied up around your feet
Oh please
Just cut me loose
So you can get to where you're meant to be
My oxygen machine
Don't hold your breath for me
