Breathe Underwater Lyrics


Placebo Breathe Underwater


Songwriters: Forrest, Steven Joseph; Lloyd, William Patrick; Molko, Brian; Olsdal, Stefan;

Here comes another fall from grace, I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace with a love I'm trying to replace
Try to kill this song 'cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a beaver comin' on

It's hard to reconcile what I've become
With the wounded child hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn, comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter, I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride 'cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify and it won't be long till I collide
My weakness laid bare as people stop and stare
But it's the last time I swear

It's hard to reconcile what I've become
With the wounded child hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn, comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter, I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Stop breathing, stop breathing
Stop breathing, stop breathing

Breathe underwater, I'm comin' up for air
I wanna see another dawn, comin' up for air
Sick of the slaughter, I'm comin' up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming
Comin' up for air, comin' up for air, comin' up for air
