'I can't breathe' 2014 Tribute

A Sandra quote: 'And hate breeds more hate, 'til love evaporates.'

 

No, I can't breathe

The air is scarce

Its sweetness

Deprived from me

It's free air

And its torturing me

I'm gasping

for the sustenance

It's peculiar release

From the current situation

Please

But I'm being denied

Each time

 

It's really the only thing we actually  need

 

But no, I can't breathe

No, I can't breathe

 

We all try to struggle

Against the chokeholds

Of our little roles

In society

It keeps getting tighter

We try to get higher

In our drugs & ectasy

Because we know 

Tomorrow will come

 We have to put on a good show

 

This tightrope dance

Keep your balance

 

Dance for our masters

Maybe, hopefully

 they'll throw us a bone

We're on the tightrope

The lights too bright

Double vision in the eyes

Making us burn Inside

 

All the time now

Every movement

Is being watched from an eagle's eye

Perched from above

And everything we say, is being logged.

 

We're the ants under the microscope.

 

No, I can't breathe. No, I can't breathe.

The air is stifling.
