Lyrics

Vent

She's the one makes me feel these ways He's the one needs some raise Can't stand to feel Hate to feel Gone insane Hijack a plane Don't push me 'cos I'm close to the edge I'm tryin' hard not to lose my head

Can hardly breathe (Deceived) I've been deceived She hides my ventolin Can hardly breathe Can hardly breathe Can hardly breathe

I'm the one (I'm the one) Who hides his medicine (Who hides his medicine) Watch him stop breathing (Watch him stop breathing) Watch him bleed (Watch him bleed)

I right the wrongs (I right the wrongs) And take his songs (And take his songs) An we'll all live happy ever after (An we'll all live happy ever after)

Can hardly breathe (Can hardly breathe) Can hardly breathe (Can hardly breathe) Can hardly breathe (Can hardly breathe) And we all seem together now

Can hardly breathe Can hardly breathe Can hardly breathe ...
