I feel suffocated
It's so hard to breathe
Like the world is crushing me
And I'm falling off my steed

You're standing there
Watching me unable to breathe
It doesn't faze you in the least
As the world is crushing me
You've letting it grab hold of me

My mind is the enemy
Lying here trying to dream
Trying to focus on a different part of me
Thoughts of you repeating as I sleep
Please, just let me breathe
So I can get back on my steed

The steed is representing control and power over my life and it's choices.
