Breathing

Into a new place, pulling myself back Tasting smoke and blood and burning in my lungs I'm lying on my left side, I don't know if I can move But I can hear myself breathing, I can hear myself breathing Then into a new place - this is where I die And all the noise is gone and there is only calm Deep beneath the city waiting for the fire Any second now But the fireball never comes and so we turn back to ourselves I can hear us all breathing, I can hear us all breathing In the pitch black tunnels with all the weight above I can hear us all breathing, I can hear us all breathing Then into a new place shouting men with torches and tools Stumbling from the wreckage in a starlight of shattered glass The wounded and the shell-shocked, the blackened and the burned I can hear us all breathing, I can hear us all breathing Climbing ever upwards like the rising of the dead I can hear us all breathing, I can hear us all breathing I can hear myself breathing, I can hear myself breathing I can hear us all breathing, I can hear us all breathing
