Breathe

Help me look for a window, I need to get some air
Can't find a key to the door and I don't have a pin in my hair
I don't have the transparency to admit my skin is crawling
I pick off the bugs on my own, and I've decided
I'll go out to the chicken shed and sit between the eggs
I hope the hens don't mind me here, they keep pecking my legs

And it's been just over two days
And I think I'll stay here for four
The hens, they like me by now
Well, they don't bite me anymore
But I've forgotten how to

Breathe
Breathe

Peel my hands from my eyes, you have finally found me
Played hide and seek at age five, and I'm still good at disappearing, see?
I've been talking enough, thinking too much
And I'm breathing too fast, losing my touch
This idea was dumb, can you call my mum?
I think that I'm becoming undone

I sit and clutch my muddied knees
As my chest begins to heave
I am a cheat for being weak
But will you stay while I sleep?
In case I forget how to

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe

As my head hits the pillow, feathers start to grow all over me
A flightless bird, a worried girl
Who is she?
A heavy heat clings to me, and it grounds my feet
Let the breeze drift so sweetly and bend my knees
For me
And carry me
Please carry me
Teach me to breathe

Let me
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
