Breathing When I'm Speaking
Well I set myself straight
Drove a nail through the wall
I set myself straight
Kept my bills in my wallet
I set my alarm
Woke up to its call
I'd count all the kills
But my heart won't allow it
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
I heard something outside
So I opened the door
I saw so many crimes
That were treated like jokes
Nobody born breathing wants to fall into line
Or wait in some hallway
With your hands and your hopes
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
I'd speak for myself
But I'm not always sure
I'd speak for my friends
But we're in different places
We just meet when we can
Then we're back out the door
We meet when we can
Then we're back to the races
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
Drove a nail through the wall
I set myself straight
Kept my bills in my wallet
I set my alarm
Woke up to its call
I'd count all the kills
But my heart won't allow it
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
I heard something outside
So I opened the door
I saw so many crimes
That were treated like jokes
Nobody born breathing wants to fall into line
Or wait in some hallway
With your hands and your hopes
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
I'd speak for myself
But I'm not always sure
I'd speak for my friends
But we're in different places
We just meet when we can
Then we're back out the door
We meet when we can
Then we're back to the races
But I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
And all the rest are just hands on my neck
I'm breathing when I'm speaking your name
