Story Behind The Song
Most of us have experienced a time in our lives when each day is just like the last. For me, it was a time when I retired briefly from performing - I soon felt like I was drowning.

Lyrics
Air Lyrics
So here lies another day
Departed in the same old way
What's different from the day before
I'm still made of flesh and bone
Slow suffocation in my heart
Feel the water rise above my mouth
This is not how I imagined my life would go
I'm dying for some...
Air to cleanse my lungs, to give me rest
Had I been full of dreams before I lost my breath
