Just Let Me Breathe (demo version 1996 - 1997)

Open your eyes and turn off your mind
Step right up, folks, and you will find
A growing trend, an epidemic
Spread with zen and hypodermics, yeah
Yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of you until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I'm bored, just let me breathe

A daily dose of EMPTYV
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain
Make yourself a household name, yeah
Yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of you until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I'm bored, just let me breathe

Strike up your best angst ridden posture, oh-oh
Manufactured anger
Let's not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Now they're dead and buried, yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines will take care of you until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
My bank roll's red and my face is blue
And still they'll turn their backs on you for someone new

Feed my head with some real thoughts
And let me think instead of being taught
I'll say things you won't believe
Just stand back, just let me breathe
