Flotsam and Jetsam

Keep Breathing

Flotsam and Jetsam


I see the tracers it leaves in the sky 
A racing stripe canopy for your eye 
I see it dying fast right through the floor 
An aftershock of filth and gore 

We try our best to just keep control 
Just to keep breathing 
Is reaching a goal 

I can see now how fast it really grows 
I see God's face with a bloody nose 
Unbelievable to you and me 
Yet easier all the time to see 

We try our best to not lose our minds 
Just to keep breathing is wasting our time 
We try our best to gain control 
Just to keep living is taking it's toll 

It doesn't take a scientist 
To really comprehend the gist 
That everyday we all decide 
To slowly commit suicide 
And there is no hotline to call 
No saviour coming to get us all 
I can't fathom how it happened so fast 
How bad we were beaten 
Floored and harassed
