How Dare I Breathe In every ocean, there’s a current turning Burning in its pride To learn too late There’s no escape From the fate Of the human tide God knows I’ve tried But now all of this commotion is just floating a disease Beneath the glimmer of this pilot light That burns but until our release I’ve said my piece… I gotta sell it to you You gotta shove it at me And now I see You still got your evil eye on me How dare I breathe? How dare I speak? How dare I scream As I see that the rage is inside of me? Can’t raise my arms, Defend my name Excuse me while I walk away Pile of community chest cards at the side of the road Warheads galore One is bound to explode Go directly to jail You like to keep me under your fingernail Sitting on a throne just gazing at your diamond abode A voyeur tuned into a new episode And in a Nielsen hour The group dynamic seems to spiral down And all these rules we learn to follow Steadfast to a living hell Remember that the truth you swallow Is laced with poison lies as well And I gotta sell it to you You gotta shove it at me And now I see You still got your evil eye on me How dare I breathe? How dare I speak? How dare I scream As I see that the rage is inside of me? Can’t raise my arms, Defend my name I’m just the same as you We’re just the same Excuse me while I walk away How dare I breathe? How dare I speak? How dare I cry? How dare I? Excuse me while I walk away
