Music: Florence + The Machine - Breath of Life
I yell with her, my arms outstretched
and the world around me trembles
as I tremble from within
Freedom
- is peace from the sneaky, begging, hateful voices in my head
that tell me they are mine
- is strength to not only resist, but to never even want
the touch of a man that promises only to hurt me
and to help me loose myself
- is the gift of being able to feel fully and act upon
the love and joy I know I have
for those around me
Her yell is mine
as I shake at my rattling chains
as I struggle not to break or give in
as I do my best not to listen to the poisonous thoughts and emotions
I whisper to myself
Her yell is mine
to give me strength
to breathe again

Breath of Life
Her yell vibrates through meI yell with her, my arms outstretched
and the world around me trembles
as I tremble from within
Freedom
- is peace from the sneaky, begging, hateful voices in my head
that tell me they are mine
- is strength to not only resist, but to never even want
the touch of a man that promises only to hurt me
and to help me loose myself
- is the gift of being able to feel fully and act upon
the love and joy I know I have
for those around me
Her yell is mine
as I shake at my rattling chains
as I struggle not to break or give in
as I do my best not to listen to the poisonous thoughts and emotions
I whisper to myself
Her yell is mine
to give me strength
to breathe again
