Breathing life, as [bad word] as honest work 
Breathing life, a [bad word] for all it's worth 

You want to seem to be as fragile as can be 
I want to roll inside that shell you call a mind 

Breathing life, as frail as insincere 
Breathing life, too cold to she'd a tear 

You want to seem to be as fragile as can be 
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see 
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me 
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days 

You want to seem to be as fragile as can be 
I want to see the things that I'm supposed to see 
I want to know the fear that sets inside of me 
I want to breathe the air, like I was meant to on ordinary days
