Lyrics for A Screaming Breath
Were we so brave, are we so bold As to deny our hearts? Were we so noble, were you so cold As to defy our conscience? And now we lay, and walk alone So distant and so uncaring Deliberately disguise ourselves To protect our frail emotions The ability to feel and be Somewhere in man longing to free Screaming breath, screaming breath Screaming breath, free! Selfishly we retain and hoard Everything, yet nothing at all A poisoned soul can never soar When we're bound by doubt and by fear And now we lay, and walk alone So distant and so uncaring Deliberately disguise ourselves To protect our frail emotions The ability to feel and be Somewhere in man longing to free Screaming breath, screaming breath Screaming breath, free! Were we so brave, are we so bold? To hide from things we've longed to show? Were we so noble, were you so cold? To lose from self, to self-control? The ability to feel and be Somewhere in man longing to free Screaming breath, screaming breath Screaming breath, screaming breath
