Five o'clock. Is this a stroke?
My chest hurts and I choke
Will I die now, in my bed?
A question-crowded head…
A grudge in my liver, poison bile
Stains my dreaming, and my mind
Gets weaker, I crack down
No, I can't breathe
It all flows like vomit
Through my mouth
And all my body concurs
To aerobic liberation of my soul
“La nature est un temple où de vivants piliers
Laissent parfois sortir de confuses paroles
L'homme y pa**e à travers des forêts de symboles
Qui l'observent avec des regards familiers
Comme de longs échos qui de loin se confondent
Dans une ténébreuse et profonde unité
Vaste comme une nuit et comme la clarté
Les parfums, les couleurs et les sons se répondent
Il est des parfums frais comme de chairs d'enfants
Doux comme les hautbois, verts comme les prairies
Et d'autres, corrompus, riches et triomphants
Ayant l'expansion des choses infinies
Comme l'ambre, le musc, le benjoin et l'encens
Qui chantent les transports de l'esprit et des sens.”
Retrace the panic trail [Back where it began]
The panic – the crash – the fear - the fright
The panic – the crash – the fear to die
There's no air, I'm blocked inside
Get me out, get me out, get me out of here!
Is nothing hurting, is that blood mine?
Shattered gla**es everywhere [You gotta breathe!]
There's no air, I was denied
For years I've kept on swallowing
A thousand screams held in my mouth
Let them out, OUT! [You gotta breathe!]
There's no air, no matter how hard you try
Shut the f** up, you'll never be right!
There's no air, no mourn allowed
Be strong, be perfect, unbreakable, unbreakable!
Wake up, wake up my every cell
We gotta have control, must have control
Oh brain, my brain against the wall
Who's the craziest of them all?
[You gotta breathe!] There is no air – the fear – the pain
[You gotta breathe!] There is no air – the fear to fail
Ten drops, you're free from anger
Ten drops, relieve anxiety
Breathe deep, and find your quiet place
Before you sleep
Ten drops, to ease all stresses
Ten drops, re-energize
Breathe deep, and get your oxygen
Before you blacken out
Ten drops, rebuild your optimism
Ten drops, believe you can
Breathe deep, reroute synapses
Before the crash
I cannot fail, I cannot fall
Be strong, fast, hard, endure, [You gotta breathe!] endure!
Wake up, wake up my every cell
We gotta have control, must have control
There's no air, I'm deaf and blind
Tired limbs on a manic mind [You gotta breathe!]
There's no air, I'm dead inside
Get me out, get me out, I gotta breathe!
