Inspired by a real-life incident from 2019, Death Said Breathe is an experimental audio-film in song form that took six years to fully arrive. Born from a moment of profound despair and a real call that changed the course of life, the song explores what it feels like to be untethered—drowning in hopelessness, exhausted by the self, and longing for an end.
At its heart lies a quiet philosophy: the end we seek can be a release, a letting go of the suffering self, creating space for rebirth, transformation, and the fragile fullness of life. Through aching verses, suffocating choruses, and delicate textures, the song moves toward the command: “Breathe, Death said breathe.”
To then echoing John 3:3—“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God”—it concludes in release and an invitation to be carried far away, toward the internally healed, loving, and settled fullness explored in previous releases like Home and upcoming projects.

Call Conversation:
Hello? I don’t know, I feel like I’m drowning
I’ve always been drowning. But this time I don’t have anything to hold on to
There’s no purpose, there’s no reason. There’s nothing
Intro:
Where was all that Hope there is
Closing in
Why, won’t I flow
But, there’s Still heart in this
It can’t make what it is
So,What is Hope
Verse:
Take me, I don’t deserve this
Just one Sign of sun-shine in this dark night
Riddle a Lifeline, my hell’s begging
Slowly, slowly, it unfolds..
Chorus:
I’m Drowning Down, Drowning Down
Verse:
Far…
Side the sea
We flew here
To seek the truth
I’m drowning down
I’m drowning down
Verse:
Grace Calling,
To be Crowned despairing
Let cowardly pain & fear go.
Worthy, to be hanged free.
Pre Chorus:
Because I could’t flow,
And I Didn’t know what left me.
But, What left me?
So, Im Falling Off,
Falling Down,
Till I’ve Fallen Drown,
Until, Death said.
Chorus:
Breathe,
Breathe, Death said Breathe.
Death said Breathe
Bridge :
Paddle down, let the Tides role.
Settle Love, Stay True.
There’s Nothing here to hold on to.
So, Kid Around.
Outro :
Take me, far away.
Take me, far away.
