Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a fire

These dreams that pass me by

This salvation I desire

Keeps getting me down

'Cause we need to

Recognize mistakes

For time and again

[Chorus]

So let it be known for what we believe in

I can see no reason for it to fail

'Cause this life is a farce

I can't breathe through this mask

Like a fool

So breathe on, sister, breathe on

[Verse 2]

From this oneself

Testify or tell

It's fooling us now

[Chorus]

So let it be known for what we believe in

I can see no reason for it to fail

'Cause this life is a farce

I can't breathe through this mask

Like a fool

So breathe on, little sister, breathe on

Ah, so breathe on, little sister, like a fool
