When I was 13 I
Ejected the disc tray from my PC
To play games with my friends

They said "John when we grow up
Would you be the savior of the timeless
The stranded and the dead?"

They said "Will you defeat him
The lordling
The man who's here already
The god of double death"

"And someday we'll see it
Rewarded
Led through our game over
The world's untimely end..."

Sometimes I get the feeling
Things are not what they seem
And other times I feel like I don't know
And in the end, ascend descend
The bodies of my friends
I'll take another deep breath and I'll blow

So take a breath
It's life or death
Time or space or void or light
All I know is to take a breath
It's life or death
That frog won't make itself it seems
So no matter how much our lungs scream-

I saw the world in shambles
I saw it out of shape
Broken things I couldn't make it through
But through the glitching game I
Found two girls who could help
"Fix this" she said, what else can I do?

So take a breath
It's life or death
Time or space or void or mind
All I know is to take a breath
It's life or death
Game Over's not our final strife
I'll go back and make another life

Living up to what they think of me
(Whoa-oh-oh)
Living so my friends can be set free
(Whoa-oh-oh)
I take a look at his green face and throw my fist

Asleep or dead
You'll never wake me
I am the heir
Of all your tears and grief
With or without
My friends to carry
Or spider girls
Who kind of scare me

If Dad could see
The man I have been
It would be worth
All the blood I've seen
If he could see
The thing I am now
Would he be proud?
I guess I'll never know now

I'm just a boy
I'm not a hero
Am I a boy? Am I a boy at all?
I was a boy
I'm not a hero
And I'm the girl who's going to see the dawn

Take a breath!

So take a breath
It's life or death
Time or space or void or light
All I know is to take a breath
It's life or death
Blow away the corrupted piece
The air in my lungs never cease

So take a breath
It's life or death
Time or space or life or doom
All I know is to take a breath
It's life or death
That frog won't make itself it seems
So no matter how much our lungs scream-

Asleep or dead
You'll never wake me
I am the heir
Of all your tears and grief
With or without
My friends to carry
Or spider girls
Who kind of scare me

I'm just a boy
I'm not a hero
Am I a boy? Am I a boy at all?
I was a boy
I'm not a hero
And I'm the girl who's going to see the dawn
