[Verse 1] I used to live inside the glow Late night silence, neon show Click by click, I lost my way Felt alive, then drained away No touch, no talk, just fantasy Love replaced by dopamine I thought I knew what freedom meant But I was locked in my own head [Pre-Chorus] I heard a whisper through the noise A stillness cutting through the voice Of craving that I couldn't name So I just sat — and faced the flame [Chorus] Now I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out No more running from the doubt I sit in silence, feel the ground Hear the world without a sound The storm inside begins to fade With every breath, I walk away From pixel dreams and empty pain Zazen taught me how to stay [Verse 2] Crossed my legs, closed my eyes No more scripts, no more lies Thoughts like clouds, they drift and pass No need to chase, no need to grasp I found a temple in my chest A place to fall, a place to rest Not a savior, not escape But a mirror I can face [Pre-Chorus] I felt the ache, I felt the shame But didn’t turn or look away It’s strange how peace can start to grow When you just learn to let it go [Chorus] Now I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out No more running from the doubt I sit in silence, feel the ground Hear the world without a sound The storm inside begins to fade With every breath, I walk away From pixel dreams and empty pain Zazen taught me how to stay [Bridge] I don’t need a perfect past Or filters that will never last I just need this breath, this beat My heart, the cushion, and my seat [Final Chorus] So I'm breathing in, I'm breathing out No more screens to dream about I found a truth that doesn’t shout But whispers loud from deep inside The storm inside has lost its weight With every breath, I recreate A self that knows it’s okay to change Zazen taught me I'm not strange [Outro] Ooh, I breathe again Yeah, I breathe again In this stillness, I found a friend Zazen taught me how to begin
