Just Breathe - The Unlikely Candidates

I have no memories

Just feelings lingering

Like a dog that’s been kicked

So many times that he’s sick

Bound to bite a hand and not know why

Each day when I arise

I find the love of my life

But my touch to her is strange

And I have nothing to say

She takes a part of me, says no goodbye

Oh, please

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe

There’s a vacuum in my mind

Stars collapsing in my eyes

I live my life but it’s not mine

Just breathe

I have a heart-to-heart

With someone at the bar

Nothing humane about these beings

It’s all distance and programming

His vacant stare says, «I'm not listening»

Then the room, it starts to spin

A masquerade of mannequins

Recombine knockoff clichés

Like a Rubik’s Cube of things to say

Each emotion is coated with plastic paint

From the fumes, I faint

Oh, please

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe

There’s a vacuum in my mind

Stars collapsing in my eyes

I live my life but it’s not mine

Just breathe

Oh, please

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe

There’s a hole inside my lungs

Nothing’s clever nothing’s fun

Before you start is when you’re done

Just breathe

It’s all been said

It’s all been done

Just close your eyes

And have some fun

Flew spaceships to the moon

Conquered that point of view

But tell me, what did it prove?

How little man can really do

I bet that now gravity just seems cute

Oh, please

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe

There’s a vacuum in my mind

Stars collapsing in my eyes

I live my life but it’s not mine

Just breathe

Oh, please

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe

There’s a hole inside my lungs

Nothing’s clever, nothing’s fun

Before you start is when you’re done

Just breathe

Can I learn to live again?

(I'm staring into the abyss)

Still one unanswered question

(Can't take my eyes off it)

Out of the bar

(I'm staring into the abyss)

Onto the street

(Can't take my eyes off it)

Against the wall

The bricks I heave

Just breathe

Just breathe

Just breathe
