Breathe Deeply

Girl scattered

ripped to pieces by her brother's murder

one thought too many

one thought too much

her gentle levy burst

lives with her mother in a basement

with their seventeen years of blame

can't stop the knawing

"I should have's" clawing

it is the circle of her pain

breathe deeply you're not alone

breathe deeply now

breathe deeply he's safe with god

rest your head now

she has no father, no hero husband

to help her gather her ends

so she imagines the dj loves her

lives for the music he spins

radio humming, two fingers drumming

over the red scar bracelet she once made

her mind keeps playing her brothers slaying

and she's scattering once again

breathe deeply you're not alone

breathe deeply now

breathe deeply he's safe with god

rest your head now

she says, "I dream, i dream about him

he is lost and all alone

how can I sleep until i free him"

she keeps stumbling under the weight of his ghost

breathe deeply you're not alone

breathe deeply now

breathe deeply he's safe with god

rest your head now

breathe deeply you're not alone

breathe deeply now

breathe deeply he's safe with god

rest your head now
