Waste - Billy Breathes
Don’t want to be an actor pretending on the stage Don’t want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page Don’t want to be a painter ’cause everyone comes to look Don’t want to be anything where my life’s an open book A dream it’s true But i’d see it through If […]
All the way home we felt we had a chance To review the coulds before we were born And to invite a new game of can’ts Absorbed in the clouds a voice from afar said "with the right device you can make a pattern grow Or you can tune up your car" So we stayed […]
I feed from the bottom, you feed from the top I live upon morsels you happen to drop And coffee that somehow leaks out of your cup If nothing comes down then i’m forced to swim up On the way upwards, the colors come back But all along the bottom is blue, grey, and black […]
Taste - Billy Breathes
I’m up and i can take what you give And i’m here but i don’t want you to live with me `cause all i want is a taste for free I’m down and i will drag you along and around Until you burst into song and unwind And leave your new life behind for a […]

Much ado is all i see And feel like it’s surrounding me The crowd intrudes all day ’til i’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away I’m finally swept away
Steep - Billy Breathes
Much ado is all i see (although my roots were deep) In fact it is surrounding me The seething crowd intrudes all day (i sank in hillsides deep) Until i’m finally swept away Although i thought my roots were deep (the rivers that erode) I sank them into hillsides steep And riverbanks that soon erode […]
Oh, to be prince caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be prince caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be prince caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be prince caspian, With nothing to return to but the demons in their caves Oh, to be prince caspian afloat upon the waves Oh, to be […]
Free - Billy Breathes
I’m floating in the blimp a lot I feel the feeling i forgot Swimming weightless in the womb Bouncing gently round the room In a minute i’ll be free And we’ll be splashing in the sea I feel no curiosity I see the path ahead of me In a minute i’ll be free And we’ll […]
I was taught a month ago To bide my time and take it slow But then i learned just yesterday To rush and never waste the day Well i’m convinced the whole day long That all i learn is always wrong And things are true that i forget But no one taught that to me […]
