What she said

As it’s such a tender song, I’ve never listened to the bonus track from The Warning’s album ERROR until watching this special live performance during their concert at The Pepsi Center in Mexico City. To my surprise I discovered that I very much identify with this song.

Lyrics: Breathe

The water's getting way too cold
I thought it'd learn to keep me warm
But it's reaching down my throat
And it's freezing all my bones still

I try to reach over the endless waves
Can't call for help, so I'll just call my name
But not even I can hear
I'll just disappear without a trace

Is it so wrong, wrong to want to be alright?
Perfect in pain
It's the same all the time

I try my very best to stay afloat
But there's something down there that just wants me close
And I beg myself to breathe
But there's nothing within reach now

Is it so wrong, wrong to want to be alright?!
Perfect in vain
It's the same all the time!
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
