This song is basically a raw, heavy vent about feeling completely overwhelmed and trapped by your own mind. It feels like that moment when life gets so intense that even just taking a breath feels like a massive chore. Were tapping into that deep, dark headspace where you're struggling with bad thoughts, emotional pain or a relationship that is draining the life out of you. Instead of just singing a sad song, we use the idea of "breathing" as a metaphor for just trying to survive and keep your head above water when you feel like you're drowning in stress. It is dark, it is honest and it is for anyone who has ever felt suffocated by their own feelings.
i still feel you in my chest when i breathe
even though you left, you never really leave
ghost in my phone, name in my dreams
why does loving you still feel like a disease?
why does pain like this still sound like peace?
cold nights, heart iced
love notes in the ashtray, no lights
you were a melody, soft+spoken felony
tore me apart with your therapy
and i lied when i said i'm better
wrote your name in a suicide letter
she was heaven in the shape of a weapon
i was prayin' for death by affection
"you ever miss someone who ruined you the best?"
i still feel you in my chest when i breathe
even though you left, you never really leave
ghost in my phone, name in my dreams
why does loving you still feel like a disease?
why does pain like this still sound like peace?
love scars, new tats
hate myself and i'm used to that
lips red, eyes black
tryna find peace in a panic attack
you don't text but you haunt my feed
every new pic rips out a piece
how can silence be so loud
when you used to scream just to drown me out?
whispers from in the back, i still feel—
i still feel you in my chest when i breathe
even though you left,
dreams nev—really leave
ghost in my phone, name in my dreams
why does loving you still feel like a disease?
