A Place Where I Can Breathe lyrics

i only wanted such a little thing

only simplicity

and now that i am who i was taught to be

you have abandoned me

i held so tightly to every word you said

that`s the price of the respect you`ve always demanded

and all those things i`ve gathered through the years

have no value here



(chorus)

i need to find a place where i can breathe

somewhere high above this empty landscape

where the air is clear

and i need to find it while i still can



in a world like this

how can you wonder at my sadness?

now i hope for something beautiful

but i feel trapped under your waves of wreckage

and if i cannot claw my own way through

i fear one day i will be just like you



in this land of vacant stars

in the backseats of desperate cars

in single-mother topless bars

we ache for something more

your sons and your daughters

are unwilling martyrs

to the devils, priests, and other thieves

and their wars and rumors of war

i need a handgun and a hand grenade

to protect me from those who keep me safe

still i remember you straight face:

“Some day this will all be yours.?
