BARELY BREATHING Duncan Sheik
I know what you’re doing,
I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion,
you were so completely torn
Well it must have been that yesterday
was the day that I was born
There’s not much to examine,
there’s nothing left to hide
You really can’t be serious if you have to ask me why
I say good-bye...
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, what’s it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can’t figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There’s nothing left to reason
and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I’m thinking it over anyway...
I’ve come to find I may never know
Your changing mind
Is it friend or foe?
I rise above or sink below
With every time you come and go
Please don’t come and go
‘Cause I am barely breathing
And I can’t find the air
I don’t know who I’m kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don’t suppose it’s worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I’m thinking it over anyway

hmmm. today is day 1 of our life in the spirit seminar (LSS) this year. most of my other choirmates went to the opening of mall of asia to sing at the inaugural mass. so yeah, i was left at meralco theater as oic of the ministry. uh-oh. hahaha. i knew it would happen. it almost always does. i mean, whenever i'm left in charge of something, usually something goes wrong.
well, this morning, the sound system sucked bigtime. and the songs were really.. er.. well, they were awry hahaha. great. just great. i don't remember being as bummed out during an LSS. then again, maybe it's just the past days' hectic sked. i dunno. but there i was at meralco, wishing i were with the others at asia mall instead. hmp. i would've liked to see the new mall. even if i had to wear a kimona and tie my hair up in a bun. actually, i would have preferred to be anywhere else except there at meralco theater hehehe.
anyway, i'm back home. thank goodness things improved this afternoon. but by then, my head was throbbing like crazy (and the heat - yes, it was really WARM inside the airconditioned theater! - didn't help at all). bottom line.. i'm glad i'm back here at home. it's been a long day. a long week. a long month. *sigh*
barely breathing. sure describes me nowadays. in more ways than one..
