[Verse 1]
I was born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
I played alone
I played on my own
I survived
Hey
I wanted everything I never had
Like the love that comes with light
I wore envy and I hated that
But I survived

[Pre-Chorus]
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

[Chorus]
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive

[Verse 2]
I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a stranger's face
And it was mine

[Pre-Chorus]
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Where the wind don't change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
But I survived

[Chorus]
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive

[Post-Chorus]
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

[Bridge]
I have made every single mistake
That you could ever possibly make
I took and I took and I took what you gave
But you never noticed that I was in pain
I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
I told you that I would never be forgotten
And all in spite of you

[Chorus]
And I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm still breathing, breathing
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive

He released his debut single, “Something in the Water”, alongside its accompanying EP that October. March 2017 saw the release of the Release The Brakes EP, featuring the single “Praying”. The upbeat “Found What I’ve Been Looking For” was released in July as an introduction to his more developed sound, with “Royal Highness” and “I Might” following in October and December respectively. “Sober” was released in January 2018 as the fourth single from his debut album, Lighting Matches. Released on July 6, it also features the single “Barbed Wire”.
