The Day I Learned to Breathe Before the Bullet
TitanChord
I rode too fast with anger in my chest,
Chased down the night, never found no rest.
But the barrel shined, time stood still,
And I learned to breathe against my will.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet,
Hold the fire without letting it burn me down.
Death rode close, but I lived right through it,
And I found a sweeter song in the sound.
I saw my scars light up in flame,
Every mile still called my name.
But the morning broke, and mercy came,
And I let go of all the blame.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet,
Caught the sunrise and I let it pull me in.
Death rode close, but I lived right through it,
And I’ll never ride that blind again.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet,
Took the moment and I carved it in my bones.
Death rode close, but I lived right through it,
Now the road don’t feel so cold alone.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.

Lyrics
I rode too fast with anger in my chest, Chased down the night, never found no rest. But the barrel shined, time stood still, And I learned to breathe against my will.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet, Hold the fire without letting it burn me down. Death rode close, but I lived right through it, And I found a sweeter song in the sound.
I saw my scars light up in flame, Every mile still called my name. But the morning broke, and mercy came, And I let go of all the blame.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet, Caught the sunrise and I let it pull me in. Death rode close, but I lived right through it, And I’ll never ride that blind again.
That was the day I learned to breathe before the bullet, Took the moment and I carved it in my bones. Death rode close, but I lived right through it, Now the road don’t feel so cold alone.
