Are you breathing? Lyrics

There he is I can barely see him

Cut her down, is she breathing?

Can you open your eyes are you leaving?

Begging pleads of please don't go

And now the pain left behind you'll never know

Please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't go

When people decide they cannot fight and choose to take their lives

Something's wrong with the system today and you've got to ask why

Let's talk suicide

Let's talk suicide

Let's talk suicide

Suicide and the reason's why

So we're in the land of the free

With a deep dark secret that many choose not to see

With all this pressure mounting

Young bodies fill the morgue and they're counting

So much pressure on these kids

When they're just learning how to live

To get good grades and make the cut

Young innocent people decide they've had enough

To a lot the future's grim

It's like living their lives in a world of sin

Because they were born poor

This is all they'll have and they won't see more

Broken families are the norm

And little kids are used as pawns

By pissed poor parents

Playing child support games

And a family law court that should be shamed

And it's all blamed on mental health

Which generates billions in pharma wealth

We need to look at the reasons behind

We need to stop and talk about suicide

But it's all put on the hush

These people feel like they've got no one to trust

Dealing with a ton of emotions all alone

And then they decide they just won't come home

There he is I can barely see him

Cut her down, is she breathing?

Can you open your eyes?

Are you leaving?

Begging pleads to please don't go

And now the pain left behind you'll never know

Please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't go

So many people are traumatised today

By emotional scars that never went away

By bullying kids that took it too far

And to this day they hold their scars

By predators preying on the young and weak

Taking away their ability to speak

But nothing seems to happen to these scumbags

And they continue to creep

Our people need to know

That it's okay to speak up

Yeah

And people need to recognise

Just when enough is enough

Because the family's left behind with the pain and the sorrow

Are what happens when you're not here tomorrow

Telling themselves if only they could hold you again

And questioning why they never saw your pain

There he is I can barely see him

Cut her down, is she breathing?

Can you open your eyes are you leaving?

Begging pleads of please don't go

And now the pain left behind you'll never know

Please don't go

Please don't go

Please don't go
