breathe it in, breathe it out
that's the only way about
in-spire, ex-pire
one and the same fire

beat-ah-beat-ah-beat-ah-breath
fire burning in the chest
beat-ah-beat-ah-breath
save me from death

"the oxygen you just took in..."
"was forged inside a dying star..."

"four billion years of borrowed light..."
"just to get this far..."

"every breath a small slow fire..."
"because, you see, to make energy..."

"that oxygen burns your cells..."
"it's physically destructive..."

"So by living, you are, in a sense..."
"The buddhist might say..."

"In an endless relationship with suffering..."

"YOU are the fire and the fuel both"
"every cell a tiny sun"
"lit and burning, lit and burning..."

"don't look away, don't look away..."
"the same light that built your eyes..."

"is the light eating you alive..."

and it is GOOD, it is GOOD, it is—
and it is GOOD, it is GOOD, it is—
and it is GOOD, it is GOOD, it is—

Every day I hope for more
dopamine is dead for sure
I cannot move my hand to save
myself from my suffering

I don't want this.
I don't need this.

kind of living.
kind of dying.

Every breath I feel it more
a dagger turning in my soul
can't you help me bear the load
with anything to make me whole

I don't want this.
I don't need this.

kind of living.
kind of dying.
