Just Breathe by The Unlikely Candidates Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have no memories
Just feelings lingering
Like a dog that's been kicked
So many times that he's sick
Bound to bite a hand and not know why
[Verse 2]
Each day when I arise
I find the love of my life
But my touch to her is strange
And I have nothing to say
She takes a part of me, says no goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a vacuum in my mind
Stars collapsing in my eyes
I live my life but it's not mine
Just breathe
[Verse 3]
I have a heart-to-heart
With someone at the bar
Nothing humane about these beings
It's all distance and programming
His vacant stare says, "I'm not listening"
[Verse 4]
Then the room, it starts to spin
A masquerade of mannequins
Recombine knockoff clichés
Like a Rubik's Cube of things to say
Each emotion is coated with plastic paint
From the fumes, I faint
[Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a vacuum in my mind
Stars collapsing in my eyes
I live my life but it's not mine
Just breathe
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a hole inside my lungs
Nothing's clever nothing's fun
Before you start is when you're done
Just breathe
[Bridge]
It's all been said
It's all been done
Just close your eyes
And have some fun
Flew spaceships to the moon
Conquered that point of view
But tell me, what did it prove?
How little man can really do
I bet that now gravity just seems cute
[Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a vacuum in my mind
Stars collapsing in my eyes
I live my life but it's not mine
Just breathe
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a hole inside my lungs
Nothing's clever, nothing's fun
Before you start is when you're done
Just breathe
[Outro]
Can I learn to live again?
(I'm staring into the abyss)
Still one unanswered question
(Can't take my eyes off it)
Out of the bar
(I'm staring into the abyss)
Onto the street
(Can't take my eyes off it)
Against the wall
The bricks I heave
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
I have no memories
Just feelings lingering
Like a dog that's been kicked
So many times that he's sick
Bound to bite a hand and not know why
[Verse 2]
Each day when I arise
I find the love of my life
But my touch to her is strange
And I have nothing to say
She takes a part of me, says no goodbye
[Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a vacuum in my mind
Stars collapsing in my eyes
I live my life but it's not mine
Just breathe
[Verse 3]
I have a heart-to-heart
With someone at the bar
Nothing humane about these beings
It's all distance and programming
His vacant stare says, "I'm not listening"
[Verse 4]
Then the room, it starts to spin
A masquerade of mannequins
Recombine knockoff clichés
Like a Rubik's Cube of things to say
Each emotion is coated with plastic paint
From the fumes, I faint
[Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a vacuum in my mind
Stars collapsing in my eyes
I live my life but it's not mine
Just breathe
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, please
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
There's a hole inside my lungs
Nothing's clever nothing's fun
Before you start is when you're done
Just breathe
