Drowning in a wave of awe at the ocean's roar
Gentle, curling worlds of water rolling through my door
Breathe In, Breathe Out, ah
High tide rises up my walls, fills the corridor
All my life I've fled from trouble, only to find more
Breathe In, Breathe Out
As I sit, I let my limbs go limp
And then dismiss the last of what we call "I"
I'm tired of the fits of living, so why not try out dying
If I could learn to love such an absurd world
I just might wade right out that door
But I can't escape the feeling
So I'll float up to the ceiling
Til' I can't breathe in anymore
Lungs full, cause of death was water, claims the coroner
Suicide's out of the question, friends and kin confer
Breathe in, Breathe out, ah
Then tell me how, why, who's to blame
What's the reason for
All his life the cause of trouble
Now he's brought on more
Breathe In, Breathe Out
My brother sits with his eyebrows knit
Immersed in some murderous mood
But I'm powerless to sooth him
He just combs the streets for clues and broods
If I could make him see that it was only me
And no one else who wished my life to be ending
And I didn't feel forsaken, just bored with all the fakin'
So I quit breathing and pretending
