Respirator

Sometimes you stop to just take a breath

You breathe in the air and you get upset

You don't need to change, you just think you need

A little time alone and away from me

And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way

And I know it's hard sometimes

You misunderstand all those things I say

And I don't need anymore, anything to control me

I've thrown my addictions aside again

And I don't need anymore, anything to provoke me

And wonder why I try again

I think that maybe this way that I feel a side effect

From trying to balance my soul, instead I keep dividing it

And hiding it from people who wanna provoke my bad side

And keep it all from bubbling over into a landslide

I'm medicated just hoping that it'll fly by

But sometimes I need to take a breath and I'll be alright

Up all night because all of this is getting to me

I know you probably want to hit me but breathe with me

Sometimes you stop just to take a breath

You breathe in the air and you get upset

You don't want to change, you just think you need

A little time alone and away from me

And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way

And I know it's hard sometimes

You misunderstand all those things I say

I sit so hallowed open while others level off at any cost

I've been depraved of things

That people think are such an awful loss

And I lost the race and picked up the pace

My timing's off, I'm well aware

And I can't believe I say those things I say as if I just don't care

Sometimes you stop just to take a breath

You breathe in the air and you get upset

You don't want to change, you just think you need

A little time alone and away from me

And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way

And I know it's hard sometimes

You misunderstand all those things I say

And I don't want anymore, all the greed is controlling

The hunger never seems to end

And I don't try anymore, so afraid of devoting

And then I die inside again

I think that maybe this way that I feels a side effect

From trying to balance my soul, well I keep dividing it

I try to get back up when I slip on banana peels

Situations develop out the mist of air it kind of feels

Like breathing in exhaust fumes while exhaling the hate

Os so many day gone days gone bad it all seems to fade

And dilute and pollute and contaminate the breathing air

I'm taking breaths in moderation as if I just don't care

Sometimes you stop just to take a breath

You breathe in the air and you get upset

You don't want to change, you just think you need

A little time alone and away from me

And I'm not the only thing in the world that's in your way

And I know it's hard sometimes

You misunderstand all those things I say

Breathe with me as if I just don't care

Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care

Breathe with me as if I just don't care

Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care

Breathe with me as if I just don't care

Would you breathe with me, as if I just don't care
