[Verse 1]
A voice out in the distance
The  whistle of a signal on the waves
A  lifetime in an instant
Flowers bloom upon untended graves

The spinning of the engines
The  clatter of the wheels upon the tracks
A  twist in all the endings
The price to pay for seeing through the cracks

[Pre-Chorus]
Breathe  in
Breathe in

[Chorus]
I want to breathe the open air
I want to see the world out there and run
To  leave the tunnels of the mind
I want to breathe the open air
To shed the mask I've had to wear and run
To leave the depths and dark behind
Free, unconfined

[Verse 2]
The changing of the seasons
The colours of the vast and endless sky
The scorching and the freezing
The comfort of a soothing lullaby
[Chorus]
I want to breathe the open air
I want to see the world out there and run
To leave the tunnels of the mind
I want to breathe the open air
To shed the mask I've had to wear and run
To leave the depths and dark behind
Free, unconfined

[Bridge]
And the future's a railroad stretching endlessly
All our hopes keep rolling on the track
As the shadows of home become a memory
They will haunt us, but they can't pull us back

Breathe in
Breathe in

I watch the sun rise
In skies so clear
We learn the outside
There's hope out here

[Chorus]
I want to breathe the open air
I want to see the world out there and run
To leave the tunnels of the mind
I want to breathe the open air
To shed the mask I’ve had to wear and run
To leave the depths and dark behind
[Outro]
I watch the sun rise
In skies so clear
We learn the outside
There's hope out here
Free, unconfined
