Hold My Breath

They popped
The dam
In the goddamn river and
Old black Warrior overflowing
Now it's us
Or them
Swine squeal
Deliverance
Say jack where are you going to go when the crow flies overhead?

Too much to lose
In telling the truth
Strange fruit of your labors
Stranger than true
Stranger than true

I'm
Sitting in the sunshine
You all have been so kind
Say you won't
Forget me when I'm gone
Forever I'm
Not dead in the water yet
All I need to do is hold my breath a little while
Take a drink and I'll
Never die

How long
Will it take
To pay
For my mistake?
Won't you please
Understand
That I know your face like the back of my hand

The day
You feared
Would come
Is finally here
And all of us
Completely break down and crumble to the dust cause

Human beings
Made of meat and hurt feelings
Fly in the face of their failures so the
Sun can melt their wings
The sun can melt their wings

I'm
Sitting in the sunshine
You all have been so kind
Say you won't
Forget me when I'm gone
Forever I'm
Not dead in the water yet
All I need to do is hold my breath a little while
Take a drink and I'll
Never die

Set fire
To the house
And they won't
Let us out
The little white pills got to still my shaking hands

Keep the flames
At bay
It's like
They always say
Gotta keep pressing going to be depressing come judgment day

Lied too many lies
Cut too many ties
Called in too many favors
No more one last tries
No more one last tries

I'm
Sitting in the sunshine
You all have been so kind
Say you won't
Forget me when I'm gone
Forever I'm
Not dead in the water yet
All I need to do is hold my breath a little while
Take a drink and I'll
Never die
