[intro] [Verse 1- buzzing guitar] 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 cruel arms Learn the terrible truth of your merciless charms [Chorus] Breathe 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 [Pre-chorus] But lovers who stay too long in your cruel arms Learn the terrible truth of your merciless charms [Chorus - explosive drums and guitars] Breathe you in oxygen [crisp snare] 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] {breakdown} 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 Breathe you in, not the end The lungs start to burn and the red blood turns frail
