Lyrics
Breathe
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.
Check, check, check, check
(Yeah)
Set the time for the battleground
Guided missiles will hunt you down
Drones surround your homes
Don't breathe, you're not safe underground
Political landscape shape has been polarized
Now it's time to reveal the zeal
Everybody breathe, get mobilized
Radiation beams out your screens
It's like a poltergeist
Trying to buy the American dream
But it's overpriced
5 bill deal for thе fighter jets
Bein' shippеd to the Middle East
It'll cost 10 billion more dollars for neighbors to feel safe to breathe
(Breathe)
Breathe with me
Sometimes you got to stop and breathe
Breathe with me
Come breathe with me
Sometimes you got to stop—
He pulls on a cigar
He pulls on the strings of his guitar
She pulls on his pants, bam, he pulls on her bra
Breathe, if you believe
Everything under the sun, it was born to be free
The shadow is bound to the tree
And cannot leave with the traveler
The battle is fought on the daily basis
The sturdy man replaced the straggler
As long as there is a breath of life, there's always hope
Defeat the strife, don't let go that rope
(Breathe)
Breathe with me
Sometimes you got to stop and breathe
Breathe with me
Come breathe with me
Sometimes you got to stop and breathe
Come breathe with me
