lyrics

Oh you used to sing so loud
Your voice would echo out
Alarming and so proud
How the words would flee your mouth

And I recall
That day in Montreal
My back against the wall
Oh the silence shook us all

Now you're breathing
So shallow
And the light has left your eyes

The air you breathe
Is thinning over time
So watch my back
For every single sign
The clarity
Of danger is in sight

I rush to your side
You simply reply
"I know that I tried
But I think it’s too late"

"You've got to save yourself
There's poison in your cells
My cunning sense of smell
Has predicted my fate"

Now I'm breathing
So shallow
And I'm planning my goodbyes

The air you breathe
Is thinning over time
So watch my back
For every single sign
The clarity
Of danger is in sight

And all this time
I thought I was guarded by your side
But darling I, I waited too long
And now I must let fate decide
So, run away
From the feeling that it's already over
And run away

The air you breathe
Is thinning over time
So watch my back
For every single sign
The clarity
Of danger is in sight
