The Breathing

Stepping out of grace
I wanted to see the look on your face
When I said,

"I'm not afraid
The oceans can drown me
The moon can ground me
But I am not afraid"

I know the sign of a good time
I know it still hurts
Now I want to get out
Get out of here

A good girl knows her place
And keeps her head low under water
And keeps slow to the pace
To win is something never thought of

Hiding in me
You don't want to see
How beautiful the ugly girl can be
And I've been wallpaper as far as I can see
Now see what I can be

Not too far away
Almost at the point of breaking
And you should be afraid
You never had to question the breathing

I know the sign of a good time
I know it still hurts
And you want to get out
Get out of here
