Grieves - Breath Of Air Lyrics
[Verse 1:]As simple as I am I got a puzzle for a heartLaid it on the table in the living roomAnd rummaged through the partsThe child in me is running through the yardWhile the man that I'm supposed to be is searching for a breath in the cigar smoke chokin'Drying out my eyes like the desert windDrunk, taking shots, [?] with an empty penI got a feeling that once it gets to the endI'll be buried neck deep in this shit with no friends, go figureLife's been a freak showLearn to hold a knife a young age and bleed slowFollowing the keystrokesLeading to my wordsIs a trail most traveled by a part of meYou would label this hurtBut it worksLiving with the plagueMarching to the beat of my bones getting thrown into the lakeThey sink heavy like thought made of leadAnd fall slowly to the depthsIf I could find a better way to make you see what I've been thinkingI would probably just paint a *****ing pictureThey say it's worth a thousand words[Hook:]Oh noThere's something in the basementChained to the furnaceUnderneath the stairsSo close I can taste itClimbing up the drain pipeTrying to get a breath of airOh noThe only way to face itIs [?] the whole worldThinking that I'm crazySo close I can taste itTrying to take away my breath of air[Verse 2:]I carve it all into the clayWalking monument of my mistakesLiving off the rain checksWritten in the frayThe artist in me wants to playWhile the person I'm supposed to be is trying to figure out if I'm okayA scapegoat with a flamethrowerBurning up the tall grassGrowing like a tumor on his gravestoneI got a feeling if the same old mother*****ing shit keeps happeningI'll be dead before this game's overGreat, I'm in dark water and divingTrying to find peace in the deep I reside inIt keeps finding a better way to remind meThat anywhere I go it'll be right there behind meFine with it, pressed to the pageLeaking like a wide open cut from a thrust of the bladeIt falls heavy like a bus from a broken bridgeAnd keeps me watching from the ridgeIf I could find a better way to make the jaws of it release meI would probably just bite my *****ing arm offThey say it happens in the wild[Hook:]Oh noThere's something in the basementChained to the furnaceUnderneath the stairsSo close I can taste itClimbing up the drain pipeTrying to get a breath of airOh noThe only way to face itIs [?] the whole worldThinking that I'm crazySo close I can taste itTrying to find a way to take away my breath of air[Bridge:]I start shaking when it awakens inside of meThey tried to tell me it was a panic but they lied to meGot me thinking I was fragile and incompetentAnd tried to build a road around that avalanche on top of meFailed, laying on a bed of rusty nailsTrying to distribute the weight enough to balance out the scalesI lost heaven the second my ship sailedBut survived long enough to tell the tale[Hook]
