Barely Breathing

To my friends at work, if you have speakers, you may be able to listen to the music by clicking here. If it doesn't work, let me know.

This will not work from anywhere else. Sorry.

Barely Breathing, by Duncan Shiek

I know what you're doing, I see it all to clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears

You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far

I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born

There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why

I say good-bye...

'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
I don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay

Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out

What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?

I've come to find
I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?

I rise above
Or sink below
With every time
You come and go
Please don't come and go

I know what you're doing
I see it all too clear.
