Square Breath

Signed away the right
To keep suspense away
Drunk on atmosphere and flustered ambience
Sense of disarray
Around the bend is waiting
Keeps the mind elated
It is sobering

Keyed-up not quite afraid
Dread goes hand in hand
I just need to retain focus
And sense the chaos around me

Square breath and I'm counting four
Speech becomes more clear

It keeps me away

Tension on the rise
Repeat the steps evade it
Drink the atmosphere and soak the ambience
Earth slowly dissipates
A familiar friend is waiting
Known unknowns are always pushing on the ends

Keyed-up not quite afraid
Dread goes hand in hand
I just need to retain focus
Drink in the chaos around me

Square breath and I'm counting four
Speech becomes more clear

Now I'm trying to stay calm
Lessons from the person I'd like to become
Perception and adrenaline spiral on, spiral on and on

I'm reborn
Gripping to the side of a building
I'm reborn
Grasping to the sides
