Anacrusis - A Screaming Breath Lyrics

Are we so brave?
Are we so bold
As to deny our hearts?
Are we so numb?
Are we so cold
As to defy our conscience?

Awkwardly, we walk alone
So distant and so uncaring
Deliberately we disguise ourselves
To protect our frail emotions

The ability to feel and be,
Somewhere in me,
Is longing to free...
This screaming breath
Breathe...

Selfishly, we retain and horde
Everything and yet, nothing at all
A poisoned soul can never soar
When bound by doubt and by fear

Awkwardly, we walk alone
So distant and so uncaring
Deliberately we disguise ourselves
To protect our frail emotions

The ability to feel and be,
Somewhere in me,
Is longing to free...
This screaming breath
Breathe...

Are we so brave?
Are we so bold
To hide from things we long to show
