[Chorus:] Show me how to breathe again Give me a reason to end This pain and all the suffering Is there something, can I wait It's hard to believe again Is it something? It may be nothing (nothing) [Verse:] Blood stains on the camouflage jacket And love pained hands on the fully automatic She looks into the eyes of her comrade slash lover Comcast cspan cover warfare rages on the other Side of the world where the revolution udders In a language besides brotherly love for the sufferers It's the sacrifice that touches her He brushes her cheek smeared with black smudges of All the dirt he picked up from falling to the earth Where them things fall so far to love and so into berserk Supplies in the church but nothing of worth That can repair the heart so out comes the tears and in come the vision Gargoyles and griffins, the tension, the?, the stiffin, release On his way to God, guarded by the beast She picks up his rifle and rushes to the street [Chorus:] Show me how to breathe again Give me a reason to end This pain and all the suffering Is there something, can I wait It's hard to believe again Is it something? It may be nothing (nothing) [Verse 2:] With blood stains on the chinchilla fur And a hundred bullet holes in the Rolls Royce Spurt Through designer sunglasses the world is a blur Diamonds are being ripped from the neck of a third Second and first seem so unneeded But this one she feels that he got what he deserved The money floats, the liquor spills She dances on macabres and nigger-as being killed Skeletons dance with her, a elegant prance amidst the Whores and the drunks, the sinners and the punks A parliament of fools baptized in the funk Cologne don't stop bullets no matter where you put it But they spray it in the trunk, it mixes with the blood And the residue of drugs, it hits her all at once Stings the nostrils As our Rihanna as Madonna in nirvana Be witches in other hostel [Chorus:] Show me how to breathe again Give me a reason to end This pain and all the suffering Is there something, can I wait It's hard to believe again Is it something? It may be nothing (nothing) [Chorus:] Show me how to breathe again Give me a reason to end This pain and all the suffering Is there something, can I wait It's hard to believe again Is it something? It may be nothing (nothing) [Verse 3:] With blood stains on the maxi pad missing We welcome another soul into the land of the living Something about the mirror so different, it smiles Now how could glass smile So she runs into the kitchen The microwave the spoons and the plates Everywhere where there's a reflection of her face The turned off tv, the cell phone and laptop screen be Looking jubilant as Jeezy In the trap or Gucci in the chain shop A fan getting name dropped This wasn't in the plans but the pain stopped And held the daffodils Pleasant surprise not in the newspaper horoscope Or seen in the leaves of a chamomile She must've missed it Probably surprised out of the bag cause she dissed it Learned her lesson, she feels terrific [Chorus:] Show me how to breathe again Give me a reason to end This pain and all the suffering Is there something, can I wait It's hard to believe again Is it something? It may be nothing (nothing)
