Sufficiently Breathless - Cecil Otter

and that discussion was all true

until you decided to bust in with the old you

now youre judging them all through your gut

and it sucks that youre stuck in with no shoes to walk in so

there aint nothing to soften the blow

from that trailer burning coal to the rocks in the road

but you expecting to follow in your (?) footsteps

which couldnt never work because you wouldnt look left

and yes there was love in the air,

you should have took breaths,

you know you should’ve

i said yes, there was love in the air,

you shouldve took breaths,

you know you could’ve

and yes, im leaving to rest,

in the heart of your machine,

while its bleeding to death

until its carcass is clean,

im feeding the rest of its still beating chest

to the lesser of your subjects.

and theyre benchpressing their grudges,

repeating the reps and blending them in with their crutches

and preaching their steps,

i step lightning, tonight, there might just be a jailbreak

and more than likely its failsafe.

full speed ahead til the sail breaks

take a deep breath

man that ocean there has a stale taste

of a centurys old war,

where it was either all for one,

or one on all fours

now, they were trained to kill all the silence (?),

using nothing but steel gold and diamonds

they used their skills to build roads to islands

and i ain’t gonna leave til the hills close their eyes

so double knot the laces in your boots when you leave,

cause troubles got the ace of every suit in its sleeve,

so quit shooting the breeze, and living lucrative dreams

and just looping, just looping, just looping it seems.

now, they were trained to kill all the silence (?),

using nothing but steel gold and diamonds

they used their skills to build roads to islands

and i aint gonna leave til the hills close their eyes
