Lyrics

[Verse 1]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd turn water to wine

If I could be, I'd breathe free at last

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high if I could breathe

[Verse 2]

Factors of nine reduced over time

Chasing them primes and counting rhymes

Facing the east, bread without yeast

Blind faith in the priest, some fear of some beast

[Verse 3]

Breaking of bread, eating the dead

Bowing my head, gold outta lead

Wearing the veil, seeking the grail

I'll wear you well in musical scales

[Verse 4]

Candles are burned, incantations are learned

Ashes and urns when prophets returned

Adam and Eve, three days to grieve

Stoned if you don't believe, only fuck to conceive

[Verse 5]

But it's so hard to sign my own surrender

So hard to do what I've intended

So hard to leave what I've defended

So hard to separate what's blended

[Verse 6]

So hard to sign my own surrender

So hard to do what I've intended

So hard to leave what I've defended

So hard to separate what's blended

[Verse 7]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd turn water to wine

If I could be, I'd breathe free at last

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high

[Verse 8]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd turn water to wine

If I could be, I'd breathe free at last

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high if I could breathe

[Verse 9]

A five-sided star is buried or burnt to a char

Fashion is law, nailing trinkets to doors

One hundred and eight, commanded to procreate

And fasting for forty days and death if you desecrate

[Verse 10]

2012, ringing bells

Nine circles of hell, division by three

And seven, you see

Repeat, repeat after me, repetition is key

[Verse 11]

Repeat after me, repetition is key

Repeat after me, repetition is key

Repeat after me, repetition is key

Repeat after me, repetition is key

[Verse 12]

So hard to sign my own surrender

So hard to do what I've intended

So hard to leave what I've defended

So hard to separate what's blended

[Verse 13]

So hard to sign my own surrender

So hard to do what I've intended

So hard to leave what I've defended

So hard to separate what's blended

[Verse 14]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high

[Verse 15]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd turn water to wine

If I could be, I'd breathe free at last

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high

[Verse 16]

If I could breathe, I'd be free

And I'd get high, I'd turn water to wine

If I could be, I'd breathe free at last

And I'd get high, I'd get so high

I'd get so high if I could breathe
