[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]
