[intro] (Verse 1) no color, no sound, you rush in Giving life, or ending depends A gift wrapped in every inhale Left alone it will soon lift the veil Through nostrils oh so, so sweet You carry the torch, no retreat (Pre-chorus) But lovers who stay too long in your arms Learn the terrible truth of your merciless charms (Chorus) Breath you in oxygen pure is a beautiful snare We Stick close to the origin But dangerous without a pair You alone we’re never enough With just you breathings rough oxygen Too much of your love is a beautiful crime (Verse 2) bubbling treason beneath skin and eye And With you alone I slowly will die whisper softly “you trusted too deep” Pure oxygen making the heart weep From healer to hangman in oxygen’s name A slow oxidation that ends in a flame (Chorus) Breath you in oxygen pure is a beautiful snare We Stick close to the origin But dangerous without a pair You alone we’re never enough With just you breathings rough oxygen Too much of your love is a beautiful crime [solo] The lungs start to burn and the red blood turns frail (Bridge) They tame your bright violence, they steady your sting We need you, we crave you, we live in your debt But only when mixed with the cooler gases yet It is In truth we only survive as part of a group A bitter love, entangled snare, we complete the loop (chorus – softer, almost whispered) breath of my dawn Breath of my dusk when the day’s finally gone You’re life in my chest You’re death if I’m wrong Carry me… carry me… on (Outro – faint, fading) Just breathe with the mixture Just breathe with the blend Oxygen,Stay, bring friends Breath you in, not the end The lungs start to burn and the red blood turns frail
