Room to Breathe
Oxygen dwindles
In this empty world
This corner we’re stuck in
The place we lay curled
The breath of an Adult
And the breath of a Child
The breath of a Nation
Some strong, some mild
The magician, he put me here
Inside this little box
Nothing up my sleeves, see?
Just a silence that shocks.
What to do
When suddenly you can’t breathe?
You can’t taste or feel?
You can’t hear or see?
A needle pokes
The magician smokes
While carbon dioxide chokes
This is it, folks
My very last show
Unless he gives me some
Room to breathe.
Suffocating slowly
Oh-so unholy
Feeling so lowly
‘Cause of everything bad
We’ll die from everything good
Unless we find some
Room to breathe.
Why can’t I get some?
Some room to breathe?
Give me room to breathe.
