Breathe, Desperately - From Indian Lakes

I was once a quiet boy

Cleaning out my wounds but I

Never could keep my mouth shut

When I needed to

I could try to pry it loose

But the stone won’t move

And I wanna try to rip it out

But I’ve grown to love this thing too much

Have I become the man that I hated once,

Or have my thoughts become clouded

by things I used to fear the most?

And is my heart full of the ashes I heard about?

Have I become the missing person

I’ve been trying to get you all to forget?

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now,

Baby don’t lie now, cover your eyes now

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now

Baby don’t lie now, cover your eyes now

We breathe so desperately

As if it’s the only thing we need

And we don’t care if it’s not

Breathing honestly

We’re burning our lungs with it

And we don’t care

We don’t care at all

When you breathe the air

It tastes like medicine

And overwhelming days

are nothing that I can’t hide

When you walk alone you think such foolish things

And so disappointed we are

with no one around to love

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now,

Baby don’t lie now, cover your eyes now

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now

Baby don’t lie now, cover your eyes now

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now,

Baby don’t lie now, cover your eyes now

Baby don’t lie now, baby don’t lie now

cover your eyes now

We breathe so desperately

As if it’s the only thing we need

And we don’t care if it’s not

Breathing honestly

We’re burning our lungs with it

And we don’t care

We don’t care at all
