6. Breathe the Life
Maybe, I’m be wrong.
But, this is as bad it gets.
Feeling the pawn
frozen before its last step.

Move after move,
word after word you have led.
Daring to go where I never tread

Over sea and stone
I should be alone, but

You, you breathe the life
into my pale cold frame.
Undone and maybe unwise,
will I ever be the same?

Is getting it wrong
getting it right in the end?
Is getting along
worth knowing you’ll never love again?

I’m singing this song
trying to find a true verse.
But, all that I write keeps making it worse.

And I can’t revise,
‘cause that would be the lie and

You, you breathe the life
into this pale cold frame.
Undone and maybe unwise,
will I ever be the same?

So, I pull you in
and you push me out
and I taste the warmth
inside your mouth

and then we are one
in death and in life,
a moment so still
so still and so quiet.

Feel my body rising slowly
emptied of the air that holds me,
drowning in the flesh and blood,
a spirit where my shadow stood.

You breathe the life.
You breathe the life.
You breathe the life.
