When you're walking down the street avoiding people that you meet
And the rain has soaked your feet and you are feeling fucking weak
Decent folks have found a shelter to detour the shitty weather
If you could pull yourself together you would feel a whole lot better
Well you used to have a car and you used to drive so far
But now you don't know who you are and your life is so bazaar
The "big ones" on it's way and there are bills you gotta a pay
Avoid your problems like the plague
You'd change but you are too afraid
Stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop
Please
Breathe for me
Please please please
Narcissism, introspection, self absorption is your name
No one else has any answers you're no different you're the same
False conviction, contradiction, self affliction, life's a game
Texas Hold'em, Snakes and Ladders, Balderdash, Parcheesi, Pain
Well you kiss the dice and roll 'em and then pick them up again
And the eyes of snakes that bit you zero in on you again
When you hear the rattler's rattle and you prep yourself for battle
You dawn your horse's saddle you're no hero you're an asshole
Stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and Breathe
Stop
Please
Breathe for me
Please please please
All your hopes have vanished
As you watched they stood up and walked away
Are you really so repulsive?
That none of them wanted to play?
Now you are sitting in the dark
Praying for a tender heart
That would surely be a start
Surely that would be a start
And what if her name was Shirley, what if Shirley was her name?
I'm in need of someone surely, Shirley take away the pain
But before things ever started you were living out the end
So angry that you hearts have parted
How dare she ask just be friends?
Stop and Breathe
Stop and Breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
You gotta stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
Stop and breathe
Stop
