The World Breathes With Me Testo

So this is who we are
Forced to want to watch the sorrow
The short leash and the led
The suicide, the addict, the voyeur, the dead

Are you comfortable?
Did you do enough of nothing?
Hand to hardened lungs and barely breathing

So tell yourself there's peace on Earth And sing us all to sleep
And now you shake your fist
And spit and curse the question
Why tell these bloody hands
To waste their hate on this beautiful life?

So tell yourself there's peace on Earth
The words that cost a weeping's worth
I hear the echoes in the dirt
When silence took the loudest first
God forgive us, peace on Earth

No, I can't watch anymore
Close your eyes, love
And wait till we learn from war
Till echoes for the deaf are all that's left
So give me peace or give me

Your futile reckoning
Little dreams for little men Truth, a patient weapon
Waits to sting the spiteful again

So tell yourself there's peace on Earth
The words that cost a weeping's worth
I hear the echoes in the dirt
When silence took the loudest first
Please forgive me

I want it and I deserve it
The fractured and the frail lie below to feed it
I want it and I believe it
Reflections of myself, the crime, the crowd, the creedless
I want it and I deserve it
The fractured and the frail lie below to feed it
I want it, I want the world I know

Close your eyes
No, I can't watch anymore
Close your eyes
(I made mountains, I shook the earth)
(The flood, the voice, the blood, what the peace was worth)
Oh, let me drift from the shore


(I want it, I want it, I want it)
On the road to ruin
And we're still walkin' with stones to weigh us down
But hey, I'm still breathing
On the road to ruin
As long as you're with me, I'll be singing

I breathe and the world breathes with me
I breathe and the world breathes with me
I breathe and the world breathes with me
I breathe and the world breathes with me
The world breathes with me
The world is in me
The world breathes with me
(The world breathes with me)
