Breathe, Desperately Lyrics - Absent Sounds - From Indian Lakes

I was once a quiet boy 

Cleaning out my wounds but I 

Never could keep my mouth shut 

When I needed to 

I could try to pry it loose 

But the stone won't move 

And I wanna try to rip it out 

But I've grown to love this thing too much 

Have I become the man that I hated once, 

Or have my thoughts become clouded 

by things I used to fear the most? 

And is my heart full of the ashes I heard about? 

Have I become the missing person 

I've been trying to get you all to forget? 

(Buried alive now, buried alive now, 

Buried alive now, cover your eyes now) x2 

We breathe so desperately 

As if it's the only thing we need 

And we don't care if it's not 

Breathing honestly 

We're burning our lungs with it 

And we don't care 

We don't care at all 

When you breathe the air 

It tastes like medicine 

And overwhelming days 

are nothing that I can't hide 

When you walk alone you think such foolish things 

And so disappointed we are 

with no one around to love 

(Buried alive now, buried alive now, 

Buried alive now, cover your eyes now) x4 

We breathe so desperately 

As if it's the only thing we need 

And we don't care if it's not 

Breathing honestly 

We're burning our lungs with it 

And we don't care 

We don't care at all
