Breathe Again

I was trapped and now I'm free
 The door was locked, but I found the key
 Crashing waves have kept me beneath my mental surface
 But I'm coming back up, break the water and find my purpose
 Because I can breathe again
 I can obtain that happiness despite where I've been
 Because sometimes, I got myself messed up beyond my belief
 But that's just where we were, and I've found my relief
 Because I can breathe again
 I can come up from that water
 Break the surface tension
 Break my tension in my heart as I gasp for air
 I can feel again, I can feel these things again
 And I'm going to be okay, because I've survived the awful days
 And I'll keep on pushing, keep on fighting
 Spread the dark away with lighting
 I'll make my own path from the dirt
 Fight my demons right where they lurked
 Because I can breathe again
 The dark grimy water is out of my lungs
 And I can speak again, a language of joyful tongues
 Climb up this ladder, and damn right, I'll use every single rung
 Because my heart is singing, my ears are ringing
 But it's ringing of joy, a symphony of glee
 Away from the dark, find myself, once again, I'll find me
 I was in a pit, and I found my way out
 I can do my own things, because I know what I'm about
 Follow my dreams, and nobody can stop me
 A pair of binoculars, only ahead I can see
 Break free of the chain, dance in the rain
 My smile can stomp the frown
 This dark water can't keep me down
 Because I can breathe again
 Mom, dad
 I can breathe again
