The first breath is air, the second is fire, the third breath is water and she's drowning. First song off our new EP, Shadows In The Shape Of Men.

lyrics

under the water all is quiet
down deep in the black and blue
no sounds, just longing
she is silently slipping out of view

the first breath is air
the second is fire
third breath is water
she’s drowning

under the water all is silent
darkness, stillness
pressure building
the water in her lungs
fills her lungs

the first breath is air
the second is fire
third breath is water
she’s drowning

i lie in bed,
as my breath fails me
sleep eludes me,
thoughts surround me
gulping air like water
deeply drowning
i slip into sleep,
reaching for you
always you

the first breath is air
the second is fire
third breath is water

the first breath is air
the second is fire
third breath is water
she’s drowning
