Help Me Breathe (Album Version) - Sophie B. Hawkins |
| [00:39.94] |
A silent woman parts her lips |
| [00:41.73] |
To speak before she ought |
| [00:43.54] |
She makes a cross of her emotions |
| [00:45.70] |
And a panic of her thoughts |
| [00:47.43] |
Out of her mouth she comes in rages |
| [00:49.60] |
Like Vesuvius in heat |
| [00:51.65] |
She runs ahead of her intentions |
| [00:53.15] |
|
| [00:53.68] |
Though she's programmed for defeat |
| [00:55.82] |
By the hunger and the hatred |
| [00:57.72] |
The prostitution of her nature |
| [00:59.97] |
She has given and forgiven for to give her |
| [01:02.87] |
Kunt forgave her |
| [01:04.16] |
To the longing for a loving hand |
| [01:06.13] |
|
| [01:06.73] |
Or fist or cock or spike |
| [01:08.33] |
But you know you cannot reach her |
| [01:10.32] |
Till she's taken back her life |
| [01:12.27] |
|
| [01:29.59] |
A lonely child of fourteen |
| [01:31.10] |
Finds her future in a drum |
| [01:32.72] |
She plays for present day omissions |
| [01:35.20] |
And for whom she must become |
| [01:37.00] |
Out of her passion breaks the stillness |
| [01:39.19] |
Of a solitary mind |
| [01:41.18] |
A strict devotion to the rhythm |
| [01:43.45] |
With a substitute for time |
| [01:45.06] |
|
| [01:45.62] |
She looks out of her window |
| [01:47.08] |
|
| [01:47.68] |
At the changes in the sky |
| [01:49.35] |
She never want's to leave her sanctuary |
| [01:52.12] |
Bedroom books and lies |
| [01:53.65] |
But she's grown up on the outside |
| [01:55.84] |
With an instinct for the pain |
| [01:57.90] |
That drives the men inside her wild |
| [01:59.68] |
And women wanting her insane |
| [02:01.32] |
|
| [02:02.18] |
Help me |
| [02:05.15] |
|
| [02:05.82] |
Help me |
| [02:08.59] |
|
| [02:10.04] |
Help me |
| [02:13.44] |
|
| [02:15.04] |
Breathe |
| [02:18.32] |
Help me |
| [02:21.55] |
|
| [02:22.44] |
Help me |
| [02:25.61] |
|
| [02:26.61] |
Help me |
| [02:29.78] |
|
| [02:31.48] |
Breathe |
| [02:34.88] |
|
| [02:35.43] |
Both lovers bring their cameras |
| [02:37.17] |
To the beach on New Year's eve |
| [02:39.07] |
They are expecting nothing other |
| [02:41.15] |
Than to see what they believe |
| [02:42.93] |
Four feet walking toward the lighthouse |
| [02:45.29] |
In the freezing winter rain |
| [02:47.20] |
She flashes stately in the distance |
| [02:49.38] |
Humming her somnolent refrain |
| [02:51.28] |
You are here now you are here now |
| [02:53.69] |
There is nothing left to fear now |
| [02:55.29] |
|
| [02:55.91] |
With each step the sunk is sinking |
| [02:57.74] |
Though the truth is less unclear now |
| [02:59.91] |
They have won a thousand battles |
| [03:01.86] |
They have wrung their own demise |
| [03:03.86] |
Now they are standing still and weeping |
| [03:05.56] |
|
| [03:06.09] |
For a love they can't despise |
| [03:07.95] |
A silent woman and a lonely child |
| [03:10.27] |
Have nowhere else to go |
| [03:11.91] |
But to the lighthouse in December |
| [03:14.20] |
Before the New Year takes it's toll |
| [03:15.69] |
|
| [03:16.22] |
They have found inside each other |
| [03:18.17] |
What they had lost withing themselves |
| [03:20.09] |
Now they are bonded to forever |
| [03:22.39] |
In their search for something else |
| [03:24.67] |
Generations like the water |
| [03:26.55] |
Shape the face of every stone |
| [03:28.38] |
A pedigree's an invitation |
| [03:30.59] |
To discover you're alone |
| [03:32.38] |
Out in the kitchen or the courtyard |
| [03:34.75] |
Or the bedroom or the bank |
| [03:36.49] |
It only takes a fateful moment |
| [03:38.86] |
To become the one you thank |
| [03:41.35] |
Help me |
| [03:45.00] |
Help me |
| [03:46.67] |
|
| [03:48.61] |
Help me |
| [03:55.82] |
|
| [03:56.56] |
Help me |
| [03:59.05] |
|
| [04:00.64] |
Help me |
| [04:03.39] |
|
| [04:05.49] |
Help me |
| [04:06.86] |
|
| [04:14.63] |
And light shall lift them |
| [04:18.47] |
Higher and higher |
| [04:22.79] |
And dreams shall carry them on |
| [04:29.95] |
|
| [04:30.76] |
And loss shall lead them |
| [04:34.55] |
To life's final hour |
| [04:40.29] |
Where death shall overcome |
| [04:52.50] |
|
