Breathe, breathe like I always do
Breathe, like it ain't nothing new
To whom do I owe all this breathing to?
Breath was the gateway drug to you
Drink, drink like you crossed the Sahara
Drink like you ain't got a thing to be scared of
Drink like your buddies have triple dog dared ya
Drinkin's what costed us Sarah
Are you hurting for some peace of mind?
It's your turn and honey you're playing life
You've got courage
Or it's pricklin pride
I'm a person
Not just a part of your life
Speak, speak like you've heard conversation
Speak like it ain't such a burden to make it
Speak like you mean every word that you're saying
Speakin' will rob you of patience
Cry, cry like you've seen real emotion
Cry like you don't wanna know but you know it
Cry out the psalm of a Flovillan poet
Cry like you're one of the oldest
Are you hurting for some peace of mind?
It's your turn and honey you're playing life
You've got courage
Or it's pricklin pride
I'm a person
Not just a part of your life
Hear, hear me but not for my voice
Hear me as if it were never a choice
Show me the way that you look when you do it
And I will not ever confuse it
Are you working?
Are you living right?
Is it perfect?
Are you satisfied?
You're not worse and
You're not jesus christ
Just a person
Not even part of my life
Not even part of my life
Not even part of my life
