Lyrics
0:00Help Me Breathe (Album Version) - Sophie B. Hawkins
0:39A silent woman parts her lips
0:41To speak before she ought
0:43She makes a cross of her emotions
0:45And a panic of her thoughts
0:47Out of her mouth she comes in rages
0:49Like Vesuvius in heat
0:51She runs ahead of her intentions
0:53Though she's programmed for defeat
0:55By the hunger and the hatred
0:57The prostitution of her nature
0:59She has given and forgiven for to give her
1:02Kunt forgave her
1:04To the longing for a loving hand
1:06Or fist or cock or spike
1:08But you know you cannot reach her
1:10Till she's taken back her life
1:29A lonely child of fourteen
1:31Finds her future in a drum
1:32She plays for present day omissions
1:35And for whom she must become
1:37Out of her passion breaks the stillness
1:39Of a solitary mind
1:41A strict devotion to the rhythm
1:43With a substitute for time
1:45She looks out of her window
1:47At the changes in the sky
1:49She never want's to leave her sanctuary
1:52Bedroom books and lies
1:53But she's grown up on the outside
1:55With an instinct for the pain
1:57That drives the men inside her wild
1:59And women wanting her insane
2:02Help me
2:05Help me
2:10Help me
2:15Breathe
2:18Help me
2:22Help me
2:26Help me
2:31Breathe
2:35Both lovers bring their cameras
2:37To the beach on New Year's eve
2:39They are expecting nothing other
2:41Than to see what they believe
2:42Four feet walking toward the lighthouse
2:45In the freezing winter rain
2:47She flashes stately in the distance
2:49Humming her somnolent refrain
2:51You are here now you are here now
2:53There is nothing left to fear now
2:55With each step the sunk is sinking
2:57Though the truth is less unclear now
2:59They have won a thousand battles
3:01They have wrung their own demise
3:03Now they are standing still and weeping
3:06For a love they can't despise
3:07A silent woman and a lonely child
3:10Have nowhere else to go
3:11But to the lighthouse in December
3:14Before the New Year takes it's toll
3:16They have found inside each other
3:18What they had lost withing themselves
3:20Now they are bonded to forever
3:22In their search for something else
3:24Generations like the water
3:26Shape the face of every stone
3:28A pedigree's an invitation
3:30To discover you're alone
3:32Out in the kitchen or the courtyard
3:34Or the bedroom or the bank
3:36It only takes a fateful moment
3:38To become the one you thank
3:41Help me
3:45Help me
3:48Help me
3:56Help me
4:00Help me
4:05Help me
4:14And light shall lift them
4:18Higher and higher
4:22And dreams shall carry them on
4:30And loss shall lead them
4:34To life's final hour
4:40Where death shall overcome
