Breathing Underwater



Two suns in a closed jar.

Liquefy the viper for the show.

Cut the cord and breathe deep.

Racing in a dead sleep.



Sympathize in silence for the crow.



Swear to be a prophet. 

Steal the jewel and drop it.

Lay another crack out in the road.

Happenstance and visions, stupid superstitions.

Sympathize in silence for the crow.



Chorus:

You lose the battle when

you start believing in everything you read

it's just like Stevie said.

A cosmic free for all with caps and crystal balls

when you believe in things like the archetype in wings.



The humble and meager,

the perpetual griever, 

sing ‘em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy. 



The humble and meek,

the tired and the weak,

Sing ‘em to sleep, but the crow just gets no sympathy. 



King underachiever

half an unbeliever.

King the sleeping serpent down and go

hide out in the open, cowering but hoping.

Sympathize in silde for the crow.



Chorus



Though he's a bird to prey, let the crow eat cake.

You know hoe ravens love the crumbs. 

Throw them to the black cats that cross our tracks

Frozen stiff and maybe they'll melt in the sun.
