As I Breathe

from Mostly A Safe Place by Rattlemouth

/

lyrics

Outside the winter wind is blowing
Cold pervades the darkened room
Your state of mind tends to slump
into a mess of hope and gloom
As you breathe your heart is beating
Fierce regrets cling and stay
You call out to mere perfect strangers
to take away your sad malaise

Random moments of familiar scenes
aromas textures sounds
Such kind lips brush your ear
Lust and longing spin around
Yet you sense an undermining
A distant haunting thrum of dread
Courage flows thru out you Darling
Wise and tender tears you shed

You just don’t recall what you wanted
many times along this path
Swept up in harsh confusion
Banged about by sudden wrath
And frequently you do wonder
Wonder just what have you done ?
With this singular rarity…
Is it finished ? Was it begun ?

Doubtless you have known sweet beauty
Savoring all that you could
Springtime evenings in a garden
Autumn walks in brilliant woods
Random moments of familiar scenes
aromas textures sounds
Such kind lips brush your ear
Desire and longing mix around

Outside the winter wind is blowing
Cold pervades the darkened room
Your state of mind tends to slump
into a mess of hope and gloom
As you breathe your fear starts fading
Certainties corrode to gone
With you now the dearest strangers
Who’ve been with you all along
