Breathe - Steve Von Till

You don’t believe what you don’t see

Each grain of sand beneath the sea

You have no faith in a dream

Fade into the landspace, unseem

In a field of weeds, killing time

A winding river rushes by

All the while you seem to be going blind

A cold numb grey in your eyes

Breathe in, breathe deep

A lifetime is too long to sleep

Staring at lightning won’t keep you warm

You hear the thunder, but can’t get out of the storm

Growing weak and thin

This has to end where it begins

Waiting for winter’s first snow

To cover your tracks, so no-one will know

That you ever lived, or ever lied

You wouldn’t give, never tried

No words worth air ever sound

From a flightless bird, bound to the ground

Breathe in, breathe deep

A lifetime is too long to sleep

Staring at lightning won’t keep you warm

You hear the thunder, but can’t get out of the storm
