[Verse 1]
Breathing life, as true as honest work
Breathing life, a truth for all its worth

[Alternate Chorus]
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to roll inside that shell you call a mind

[Verse 2]
Breathing life, as frail as insincere
Breathing life, too cold to shed a tear

[Chorus]
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days

[Instrumental interlude]

[Chorus]
You want to seem to be as fragile as can be
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days
