Bird York Breathe Deeply
Girl scattered
ripped to pieces by her brother's murder
one thought too many
one thought too much
her gentle levy burst
lives with her mother in a basement
with their seventeen years of blame
can't stop the knawing
"I should have's" clawing
it is the circle of her pain
breathe deeply you're not alone
breathe deeply now
breathe deeply he's safe with god
rest your head now
she has no father, no hero husband
to help her gather her ends
so she imagines the dj loves her
lives for the music he spins
radio humming, two fingers drumming
over the red scar bracelet she once made
her mind keeps playing her brothers slaying
and she's scattering once again
breathe deeply you're not alone
breathe deeply now
breathe deeply he's safe with god
rest your head now
she says, "I dream, i dream about him
he is lost and all alone
how can I sleep until i free him"
she keeps stumbling under the weight of his ghost
breathe deeply you're not alone
breathe deeply now
breathe deeply he's safe with god
rest your head now
breathe deeply you're not alone
breathe deeply now
breathe deeply he's safe with god
rest your head now
