'Cause I am barely breathing,
and I can't find Pierre
'Cause I am barely breathing,
and I can't find the air
'Cause I am barely breathing, and I can't find a care.
'Cause I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air.
'Cause I am barely breathing, and I can't find, yeah,
'Cause I am barely breathing, and I can't find the air
'Cause I am barely dreaming
or
'Cause I am barely sleeping
'Cause I am barely breathing
'cause I am barely free
'cause I am barely breathing
'cause I am barely free
'cause I am barely breathing
'cause I am really free
'cause I am barely breathing
And I could stand you making
Your food for another day.
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day.
And poo for another day
A fool for another day
But I'm taking it over anyway.
But I'm thinking it over anyway.
But those are balls of twine to wind, define
The price that I would pay.
I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay.
Cuz I am barely breathing and I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding, imagining you there
Cuz I am barely breathing and I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding, imagining you care
I am barely breathing and I can't find Pierre
'Cause I am barely breathing and I can't find the air.
I could stand here waiting
Ooh, for another day.
I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day.
I don't suppose I was surprised
I was surprised
Surprised that I would pay.
I don't suppose it's worth the price
Worth the price
The price that I would pay.
I don’t know what I’m giving
I don’t know who I’m kidding
I only taste the same thing when I kiss away your tears.
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears.
I rise above or sing below.
I rise above or sink below.
I've seen it all to here
I've seen it all too clear
Island valley breezes
I am barely breathing.
The backhoes that surround you
Are heavier by far.
The black holes that surround you
Are heavier by far.
The black coats that surround you are heavier by far.
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far.
The black girls that surround you are heavier by far.
The black holes that surround you are heavier by far.
The skies above, ascending low
or
A prize above, or sing below
or
Rise above, or sink me low.
I rise above or sink below.
Things don't come and go.
Please don't come and go.
What is the subtraction?
What is this attraction?
What is their subtraction?
I only feel my pain
What is this attraction?
I only feel the pain
With money there's subtraction, I only feel bar pain.
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain.
You have to ask me why I stated by.
You have to ask me why I say goodbye.
You really get on CBS
You really can't be serious
