Holding My Breath

[Verse 1] I kinda feel like a stowaway (Okay) I'm positive that it's a negative connection I've got a cup full of Novocaine (Okay) Stairway to Heaven, hope my name's on the guest list (Go away) My stress gets trapped between the shoulder blades Searching for some benefits for perfect attendance Keep attention span attentive like we dance around an open flame I'll trade a couple silver linings for some golden days I confess I'm still trying to impress papa I guess that I'm expecting I'll see him again, haha Laughing on a cloud in some wings and a toga And he's asking why I never left Minnesota Keep in mind previously thought impossible to find All of these pieces that were needed to complete the design I'm on the final lap, then I go back to give my wife a spinal tap Still writing rhymes like somebody got the time for that [Chorus] The temperature's rising, but it's colder than Hell I never feel alone when I'm alone by myself I try to sing along, but I don't know what you said And I'm not suffocating, I'm just holding my breath The temperature's rising, but it's colder than Hell I never feel alone when I'm alone by myself I try to sing along, but I don't know what you said And I'm not suffocating, I'm just holding my breath [Verse 2] Tell me, do you ever feel like an accident?
