Keeps Me Breathing

Baby there’s a place that I’ve seen between the Boulder hills and Chicago streets, baby I’m drawn to the Midwest heat like a pirate ship to a merchant fleet…all I can say is

I’d like to fade into the hills the hills the hills the hills, I’d like to take the pills the pills the pills the pills that kill

I have nothing, I have nothing to believe in, to believe in

How should I love somebody else when, I don’t even know how to love myself, how should I believe in some kind of hell when the kindest souls I know are told they’re going there

Love as hard as you’ve hurt, you’ve hurt, you’ve hurt, you’ve hurt

I have nothing, I have nothing to believe in, to believe in, that is what, that is what keeps me breathing, keeps me breathing

And of all the things, of all the things that I have been warned, that I have been warned of what’s swallowing, what swallows me is a chemical storm, a chemical storm

Oh it takes some courage to be a failure and know the stakes, oh it takes some courage to be a failure I’ve got what it takes

They’re leaving me for dead, they’re leaving me for dead, they’re leaving me for dead, they’re leaving me for dead,

I have nothing, I have nothing to believe in, to believe in, that is what, that is what keeps me breathing, keeps me breathing
