[00:00.38] Help Me Breathe (Album Version) - Sophie B. Hawkins
[00:39.94] A silent woman parts her lips
[00:41.73] To speak before she ought
[00:43.54] She makes a cross of her emotions
[00:45.70] And a panic of her thoughts
[00:47.43] Out of her mouth she comes in rages
[00:49.60] Like Vesuvius in heat
[00:51.65] She runs ahead of her intentions
[00:53.15]
[00:53.68] Though she's programmed for defeat
[00:55.82] By the hunger and the hatred
[00:57.72] The prostitution of her nature
[00:59.97] She has given and forgiven for to give her
[01:02.87] Kunt forgave her
[01:04.16] To the longing for a loving hand
[01:06.13]
[01:06.73] Or fist or cock or spike
[01:08.33] But you know you cannot reach her
[01:10.32] Till she's taken back her life
[01:12.27]
[01:29.59] A lonely child of fourteen
[01:31.10] Finds her future in a drum
[01:32.72] She plays for present day omissions
[01:35.20] And for whom she must become
[01:37.00] Out of her passion breaks the stillness
[01:39.19] Of a solitary mind
[01:41.18] A strict devotion to the rhythm
[01:43.45] With a substitute for time
[01:45.06]
[01:45.62] She looks out of her window
[01:47.08]
[01:47.68] At the changes in the sky
[01:49.35] She never want's to leave her sanctuary
[01:52.12] Bedroom books and lies
[01:53.65] But she's grown up on the outside
[01:55.84] With an instinct for the pain
[01:57.90] That drives the men inside her wild
[01:59.68] And women wanting her insane
[02:01.32]
[02:02.18] Help me
[02:05.15]
[02:05.82] Help me
[02:08.59]
[02:10.04] Help me
[02:13.44]
[02:15.04] Breathe
[02:18.32] Help me
[02:21.55]
[02:22.44] Help me
[02:25.61]
[02:26.61] Help me
[02:29.78]
[02:31.48] Breathe
[02:34.88]
[02:35.43] Both lovers bring their cameras
[02:37.17] To the beach on New Year's eve
[02:39.07] They are expecting nothing other
[02:41.15] Than to see what they believe
[02:42.93] Four feet walking toward the lighthouse
[02:45.29] In the freezing winter rain
[02:47.20] She flashes stately in the distance
[02:49.38] Humming her somnolent refrain
[02:51.28] You are here now you are here now
[02:53.69] There is nothing left to fear now
[02:55.29]
[02:55.91] With each step the sunk is sinking
[02:57.74] Though the truth is less unclear now
[02:59.91] They have won a thousand battles
[03:01.86] They have wrung their own demise
[03:03.86] Now they are standing still and weeping
[03:05.56]
[03:06.09] For a love they can't despise
[03:07.95] A silent woman and a lonely child
[03:10.27] Have nowhere else to go
[03:11.91] But to the lighthouse in December
[03:14.20] Before the New Year takes it's toll
[03:15.69]
[03:16.22] They have found inside each other
[03:18.17] What they had lost withing themselves
[03:20.09] Now they are bonded to forever
[03:22.39] In their search for something else
[03:24.67] Generations like the water
[03:26.55] Shape the face of every stone
[03:28.38] A pedigree's an invitation
[03:30.59] To discover you're alone
[03:32.38] Out in the kitchen or the courtyard
[03:34.75] Or the bedroom or the bank
[03:36.49] It only takes a fateful moment
[03:38.86] To become the one you thank
[03:41.35] Help me
[03:45.00] Help me
[03:46.67]
[03:48.61] Help me
[03:55.82]
[03:56.56] Help me
[03:59.05]
[04:00.64] Help me
[04:03.39]
[04:05.49] Help me
[04:06.86]
[04:14.63] And light shall lift them
[04:18.47] Higher and higher
[04:22.79] And dreams shall carry them on
[04:29.95]
[04:30.76] And loss shall lead them
[04:34.55] To life's final hour
[04:40.29] Where death shall overcome
[04:52.50]
