I have a sheet over my head with two eyes cut round I scream and shout I throw a fit but you won't hear a sound unless you breath in my sorrow believe in my soul breath in the confusion breath out the control maybe you can see who I am maybe I can be who I am maybe we can be free again I walk this hall where I was born with a magnanimous song in my head kids play the games that I did then and run right through me but I'm already dead unless you breath in my sorrow believe in my soul breath in the confusion breath out the control maybe you can see who I am maybe I can be who I am maybe we can be free again all of my life I have wanted to see something move that I couldn't ignore like white floating water or life spawned from fodder like orbit or a spirit walking right through my door yeah I saw a light and I walked away just like in a book I read so now I'm stuck with no way out and I'm lying under your bed unless you breath in my sorrow believe in my soul breath in the confusion breath out the control maybe you can see who I am maybe I can be who I am maybe we can be free again maybe we can be free again
