Letra Breathing room Bob Mould

Breathing room

5 AM, right before the sunrise
Eyelids of sand, I see stars in the sky
Need some sparkle for my troubled mind

Most of the day, I rifle through my notebook
Page after page filled with scribbles and lines
Make a mantra for confession time

We keep our distance now
Both of us agree that we need a little down time
Do we need to create some breathing room?

Carnival rides, tickets at the turnstile
After a while, we give in to the slide
Make som? thunder, wait for the rising tide

Corn?red with my back to the wall
Waiting for the static to fall
Take a number, if you're so inclined

Hundreds of days in a haze of confusion
I feel so safe in my breathing room
Cracks in the glass, see the fragments of sunshine
Illuminate my poor decisions

Hoping for truth as I’m rolling the tape back
Faced with the facts, I’ll be leaving soon
Crawl my way back to the place where I feel so
Safe inside my breathing room

Here's a fragment of sunshine
I'll be leaving soon
To the place where I feel so
Safe inside my breathing room
