At birth you betrayed a tendency toward suffocatingWe all assumed you'd dig a hole and just breathe thereNo one ever would have guessed that the tube attached to your maskwould stretch as far as it has.But you, look at you, you've crossed a continent with your mask on,you tethers let you keep a lung in your home all these yearsI don't know why the L, but that is where you had to know,so that is where you pulled the cord,inhaled a chestful of this worldIt's all you breathe anymoreIt's the air that you needOpen your mouth, girlNothing must be certainnothing must be clearnothing must be perfectnothing must be clearYou don't need a single string to bring air to where you are,you can breathe the stuff they got right hereIt's all you breathe anymoreAnd you can try to go back but locks are all changedSongtexteThe excuses they offer are awkward and lameThey don't even notice the mouth on your faceis facing them plainly and free to exhaleSo you open your mouth,air comes in, air goes outYou can breatheAir can enter and air can leaveSo you've seen a sliver of the cities in the empireand taken up new breathing at the foot of the PacificIs it so these scenes can haunt your dreams in nights of fitful slumber?Or will you fall back in the map and see what else might comeunplugged?
