Barely Breathing 04:50
lyrics

I'm alive but I'm barely breathing Close my eyes for a week or two Stay inside til this all blows over I'm not violent but I scream sometimes Bring the motha fuckin' bass in Pay no mind To the drilling in the ceiling To the sentimental feeling To science and the data, goodbyes and see you laters, the violence and the haters (Pay no mind) To the rules and regulations The trials and tribulations We thank you for your patience, the fabric of our nation depends on your participation Pay no mind To the days all moving faster No mind To the questions and the answers No mind To happily ever afters, devices are our masters, and we're just sittin pretty Pay no mind To the man behind the curtain No mind To the sufferin and the hurtin No mind Cuz' nothing is for certain, the memories you're skirtin are coming back to bite ya I'm alive but I'm barely breathing Close my eyes for a week or two Then I get the feeling I should Stay inside til this all blows over I'm not violent but I scream sometimes I'm alive but I'm barely breathing Close my eyes for a week or two Stay inside til this all blows over I'm not violent but I scream sometimes I'm alive but I'm barely breathing Close my eyes for a week or two Then I get the feeling I should Stay inside til this all blows over I'm not violent but I scream sometimes I'm alive I'm alive Pay no mind I'm alive but I'm barely breathing Pay no mind Close my eyes Pay no mind No mind mind no No mind No mind mind no No mind

When I climb those hills from yesterday Buying time how much more do I need to fake No I don't mind it's the pill I gotta take 'Cuz I'll fall apart That's before you came around That's before you came around That's before you came around Savin' all my grace for the divine Layin' all my ladies on the line Packin' up a suitcase I can't find It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance on you Finding out where to step to cross the line Another doubt to kill the will to fight Say it loud 'til your lungs hang out to dry 'Cuz I fall apart That's before you came around That's before you came around That's before you came around Savin' all my grace for the divine Layin' all my ladies on the line Packin' up a suitcase I can't find It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance on you It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance on you It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance on you It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance on you It'll only take a second if you let me take a chance

Get By (With Changes) 03:31

(Don't change that dial) By just like before The flood came and we stayed We almost drowned in a wake of crashing waves The earth quakes and parades Won't be long 'til we find our path to a secret place We can get by like before We can slip right past the door It's only here that I can see You and me and that's for sure Nothing matters anymore We can go against the norm To find a different point of view That you're aching to ignore If I told you all I had Lost it all but now nothing seems that bad Here hold my hands through sinking sands I'm here to swim for the both of us We can slip right past the door It's only here that I can see You and me and that's for sure Nothing matters anymore We can go against the norm To find a different point of view That you're aching to ignore (Don't change that dial) They'll start to act like they're one of us (It's true) It's what they lack and that's a plus (That's you) When they come back we'll be dangerous (Round two) Let's go someplace that's anonymous We can slip right past the door Let's go someplace that's anonymous We can slip They'll start to act like they're one of us (Just like before) It's what they lack and that's a plus (Just like before) When they come back we'll be dangerous (Round two) Let's go someplace that's anonymous We can go against the norm (We can go against the norm) If you love your life Don't you waste it Don't believe the hype (We can go against the norm) If you love your life Don't you waste it Don't believe the hype (We can go against the norm) We can get by like before Right past the door It's only here that I can see You and me and that's for sure Nothing matters anymore child Get by like before Get by like before Get by like before We can get by like before

I've got these seeds In my pocket Keep me grounded in the truth That my mother taught me When I was young I have these feet Firmly planted One in front of the other So I'm never not Ready to move on Can't hide from myself Right in front of me Don't know if you can tell What I'm supposed to be Up down all around Lookin' side to side Where do we go from here Contagion Release Where do we go from here Oh wow big house What a luxury Hey kid keep your eye On the discovery Uptown walking down By the riverside Where do we go from here I've got these seeds In my pocket Keep me grounded in the truth That my mother taught me When I was young I have these feet Firmly planted One in front of the other So I'm never not Ready to move on I have these seeds In my pocket Keep me grounded in the truth That my mother taught me When I was young I have these feet Firmly planted One in front of the other So I'm never not Ready to move on I'm from a planet It's a hell of a time (It's just like yours) Come on over Come on over I'm from a planet It's a hell of a time (It's just like yours) Come on over Come on over Come on over You know it's nice to take A little time away (nice) Come on over oh Come on over Ooooooooo Oooooooooahhhhhhh Ooooooooo Oooohhhhhhhhhhh Can't hide from myself Right in front of me Don't know if you can tell What I'm supposed to be Up down all around Lookin' side to side Where do we go from here Contagion Contagion Release I have got these seeds I have got these seeds (What Cha got) I have these seeds In my pocket Keep me grounded in the truth That my mother taught me When I was young I have these feet Firmly planted One in front of the other So I'm never not Ready to move on

We're warn and faded But it all can't end right here We're dehydrated When the water's crystal clear (Cross the path of the jaded stones walking back to your place) We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain You were on your call I know you could think of something better To be doing with your time I see through it all You're at the mall You know they get all the greatest prices Guaranteed to blow your mind I see though it all We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain Every time we sing this part We feel it out we make it up We never write it down Every time we sing this part We make it up Very gently move your hips Move your body Finding yourself in your body Through every breath Feel that energy vibrating Feel that energy Feel that energy vibrating Every time we sing this part We feel it out we make it up We never write it down Never write it down Never write it down We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain We try each day Through insanity and pain We fry our brains Angry deity explain We try We fry Our try Our brains
