Keep Breathing - Flotsam & 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
