Oxygen (Early Version)

Oxygen

Amen

I cannot breathe

Again

Oxygen

Come in

Burn my lungs

Be my friend

Come in

Well it's hard to get air

When your neck is a fist

And it's hard to walk a stair

When your leg will not lift

It's hard to stay alive

Stuffed with cold clay inside

It's hard to control your own mind

When there's nowhere left to hide

From the fact you can't breathe

Through a hole that is closed

From the panic now growing

Like an oily black smoke

Oh oxygen

Please come in

I can see the blue sky

Just up ahead

But it's sticky and thick

And its true color?

It is red

Hey there, dog man

Now I drink from your bowl

Hey there, Mr. Skull

I'm not scared of your call

Gonna go outside

I'll go out in the snow

Gonna rip off my skin

Gonna burn up my clothes

Gonna read my own bones

I'll dance and I'll spin

I'll cut a clean hole through solid air and I'll steal all the oxygen

And my father will guide me up a road to the sky

With my mother beside me, my last breath will expire

Oxygen!

Oxygen!

Amen

Amen

I cannot breathe

Again

My old friend

Goodbye

I give up

Now I finally decide

I am free of your grip

I refuse to even try

I refuse to even try

I am free of your grip

I will not open these lips
