Thinnest Of Air
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
How promising the start
Of the letter being read until the captain proclaimed
Dying is my heart
Then a hush befalls the crowd as the theatre exclaimed
Now our hero's part is played
And they continue as the lights come on and they get up to go:
And we are all betrayed
For our champion he screams and cries like us
Do they deserve to know that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around in the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
Should the love inside me die
Come save me, I'll be drowning
Just a few feet from the beach
Please give it your best try
Though I may do my best to
Distance you and keep your arms from reach
I'm really asking you to stay
But the only way that I know how
Is by riddle or by game
It seems no one wants to play
And as I float on out to sea
I never really sink, I just drift and say that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around in the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
If ever I can ease your pain
Well I don't think I'd release you
I'd spin fairy tales instead
Or else you'd never need me again
And though I know that hold's pathetic
It's letting go that I greater dread
Call it a joke to hide a dream
It takes a great deal more than joking
To make any dream come true
So rock & roll and kick & scream
For what it's worth I can't
Resist this flame and fire to finally
Say to you that
Yes I'm unprepared
And in the face of it all I guess I get just the littlest bit scared
Yeah me
I feel around in the darkness of an empty house and there's nothing there
Just a terrified chameleon hiding out in the thinnest of air
