Lyrics for Beauty of Breathing

Sometimes I wanna take the car out on the road Flip it into park and smash myself Into a million little pieces I'm tired of knowing what about myself is wrong But never mustering up the control To really try and change it I walk outside and people say, "Hey!" And sometimes I just wanna say "Hey! Go away! Go away!" So I guess I better stay inside I heard that if you just sit on a chair and think Of focusing your nervous energy On the beauty of breathing You could live a life on real tranquility But I just thought of every stupid thing That's been keeping me from sleeping I close my eyes and it won't go away I plug my ears but they're ringing out "Hey! Hey! Hey!" It keeps me from believing That maybe someday the thing will work Maybe I won't feel like a jerk Maybe the words I say will stop coming out weighted Maybe some day I'll wanna breath And maybe the people that I meet Won't lead to a certain future where I'm betrayed and I'm so jaded yeah I'm so jaded And that's why I'm so fucking sad
