Breathe Underwater

Placebo · Battle For The Sun [2009]

Here comes another fall from grace

I'm always falling on my face

This attitude that I embrace

For the love I'm trying to replace



I try to kill the song

'Cause the melody's all wrong

And there's a fever coming on



It's hard to reconcile

What I've become

With the wounded child

Hiding deep inside



Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see you knock the door

I'm coming up for air

Sick of this slaughter

I'm coming 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 'til I collide



My weaknesses 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 coming up for air

I wanna see you knock the door

I'm coming up for air

Sick of this slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long



Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing

Start breathing



Breathe underwater

I'm coming up for air

I wanna see you knock the door

I'm coming up for air

Sick of this slaughter

I'm coming up for air

'Cause I've been floating here too long



I'm coming

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

Coming up for air

Coming up for air
