lyrics

Taking half breaths
Afraid of going under again
Taking half steps
Afraid of going forwards
But always slipping backwards again
Taking half breaths
Afraid of going under again
Taking half steps
Afraid of going forwards
But always slipping backwards again

Underrated joints that nobody requested
This is record #10, is anybody impressed yet?
Prophets and meth-heads
Heretics on their deathbeds
Suddenly repent
Think about what they next said
But death is the only thing that really connects
If you think about life with a snippet of depth
And you'll never be alone cos everybody you met
Tripping balls for dessert
And nobody rejected

Taking half breaths
Afraid of going under again
Taking half steps
Afraid of going forwards
But always slipping backwards again

Too far down one path 'til you find some relief
Then you thought the antidote was all that you need
Burned your own ass cos of what you overdid
But scale it back, man
You don't have to quit
When you're making a change
Stop making it worse
Not an etch-a-sketch end of the world and rebirth
Good enough is not the enemy of perfection
But the wind's always blowing in the other direction

Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be

Taking half breaths
Afraid of going under again
Taking half steps
Afraid of going forwards
But always slipping backwards again
Taking half breaths
Afraid of going under again
Taking half steps
Afraid of going forwards
But always slipping backwards again

Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
Now you're seeing
Your wish was not
What you thought it would be
