Just Let Me Breathe Lyrics

Just Let Me Breathe

- mike portnoy

Open your eyes
And turn off your mind
Step right up folks
"step right up folks"
And you will find
A growing trend
An epidemic
Spread with zen
And hypodermics, yeah
Yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I’m bored
Just let me breathe

A daily dose of emptyv
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon hoon and kurt cobain,
Make yourself a household name, yeah-yeah
Yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing at the seams
I’m bored
Just let me breathe

Strike up your best angst ridden posture, whoa
Manufactured anger
Let’s not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Now they’re dead and buried, yeah

Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes

The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
My bankroll’s red
And my face is blue
And still they’ll turn their backs on me for someone new

Feed my head
With some real thoughts
And let me think instead
Of being taught
I’ll say things
You won’t believe
Just stand back
Just let me breathe...
