"Taking a Deep Breath"

I'm still alive,
though you are gone
I'm still alive,
I'm breathing life
and moving on.
I'm still alive;
my beating heart
tells me I'm strong.
I'm still alive,
after all that went wrong.

This passion keeps flowing
this inner music keeps growing
until I'm fully showing to the world
I'm still alive.

You have not won
'cuz I'm not done
my story is far from over.
So let me now say
thanks for the time and goodbye
'cuz I'm still alive.

I refuse to keep you so high
that my heart can't reach you
and my mind can't understand
because you never did anything
to deserve the place
so I wave goodbye to your ghost
"Now get out of my space!"

Of your charms I got a taste
to keep me comin'
but now I'm stunnin'
and I won't take this
while on the ground.
What kind are you
to kick me when I'm down?
So take your facade
your void motions
and drown in devotions
to yourself.

Leave me alone
without the fallacy of you
'cuz you no longer know
to what you should be true
Who are you?

I've shuffled the deck
I've cast my die
see you later 'cuz
I'm getting up now

This passion free flowing
this inner music keeps growing
I just can't keep from showing
that you've lost
I've won
no more damage
I'm done
with you.

Watch, as I float on
gently free as a song
my eyes closed and serene
as my smile faces the sky
the warm rays filling me
to my toes
How beautiful life is
like prose
I'm lifting off
and soaring high
the rhythm of the wind
envelops my soul

Though you smile
I can hear your heart crying
Your soul feels like dying
your hands can't stop trying
to obtain what it cannot
what a thought.

Sayonara
so long
adieu!
It's time I got over my image of you.

My heartbeat keeps me going
I'm breathing life
and moving on
greater is this moment
than everything of you
that is 'disguise'.
So pucker up, honey
and be my ASSociate
while I slay the mirage.

I stand at the edge
my arms out wide
as I fall into life and fly
You've lost
I've won
'cuz I'm still alive.
