Chris Booth - Breathing Lyrics

It's easy to say I'm not the one
It's harder to pause and stare down the gun
Grit your teeth to make the wielder run
See if they'll dare to make you field your lungs

Compromise with me, tell me everything you see
I just want to be even, even
Keep it real this time, I have no space to reside
I just want to seem even, even
Arrogance of speech can have no bearing on me
As long as I'll still be breathing, breathing
Try to change my mind and you'll find nothing inside
Just a signal that'll keep me breathing, breathing

Drive east, Drive east, you can find peace
You can find a life there that's ridden with disease
Hidden, at the least
Your brain starts to feast on what this life could be, and how the people would feed
Go home, Go home, you should have stayed alone
You were begging for the power but now the basement is your throne
These people, they don't grow
Plus, the pace is getting slow
Your heart has to know that this life is overblown
(I want the power, go)

Belt it all out, band me together
I felt a long drought, but I can handle the weather
But the man with the cane, who's tall with no brain
And no shame is near, he can show me my fears
He can show me my pain, but when that's coupled with the rain
The band falls apart, I belt out for help
But it falls like sand, and the weather is too much
I've fled from my crutch and now I've spoken too much

Not much to do when you have no plans
Not much to lose when you lack the chance
Not much to prove when you have no fans
It must ring true when you make them dance

Compromise with me, tell me everything you see
I just want to be even, even
Keep it real this time, I have no space to reside
I just want to seem even, even
Arrogance of speech can have no bearing on me
As long as I'll still be breathing, breathing
Try to change my mind and you'll find nothing inside
Just a signal that'll keep me breathing, breathing
