Harrison Whitford
Pair of Lungs
Wake up, you're tired and lying to yourself
You took the one good thing in life, drove it all to hell
I don't want anybody else, I'm helpless for you
I'm desperate and blue as a pair of lungs, not breathing anymore
Jumping out of my skin, I'm wasted, you win, go take it
Your freedom, whatever it is you wanted for killing this
On every Sunday we did laundry and fought
I guess we took it for granted what really just was luck
Somebody take me away, I'm ready to leave in the backseat
Of an ambulance saw the sirens scream, this body lived on a dying dream
He loved your flesh, your disease, in bed on the streets
Where the strangers pass and smile, we'll be that way for a while
Every second kills me, lifeless I'll become
And if you're feeling guilty, well trying coming undone
But come now to me, before I'm truly numb
I don't want anybody else, I'm helpless for you
I'm desperate and blue as a pair of lungs, not breathing anymore
Jumping out of my skin, I'm wasted, you win, go take it
Your freedom, whatever it is you wanted for killing this
You nailed the coffin shut, long before we died
And now there's nothing left to do but I still hope sometimes
