The First Breath

V6

A spark beneath the copper wire A finger twitches in the gloom Yellow eyes begin to open Something breathing in the room The doctor stumbles backward The creature lifts its head A trembling hand reaches toward him The maker turns and flees instead You gave me breath You gave me pain You looked into my eyes And turned away [Verse] The floor is cold beneath my feet The candle burns against my skin I hear a footstep in the hall I wait for him to come back in [Chorus] [Clean baritone] You gave me breath You gave me pain You looked into my eyes And turned away [Bridge] [Music drops to bass and sparse drums.] What was I meant to be? What did you hope to see? You gave me breath You gave me pain You looked into my eyes AND TURNED AWAY!
