"Breathe Underwater" lyrics - PLACEBO

Here comes another fall from grace
I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love I'm trying to replace
I try to kill this song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a fever coming on

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

[Chorus:]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride
'Cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify
And it won't be long till I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it's the last time I swear

[Pre-Chorus:]
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

[Chorus:]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

[Bridge:]
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing

[Chorus:]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

[Outro:]
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming, coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
