Lyrics of One Slow Breath by The Brian Jonestown Massacre

verse

One slow breath
Might be all I have left
One slow breath
Might be all I have left
Ugly face like a little dog with a bowl approaches from out of the darkest corner From 1984, the longest year of them all
Have things changed there?
Are we still a bunch of slaves?

verse

Cradle to the grave we are free souls trapped inside a cage
Programmed for the system to die inside a prison
But until there is no air to breathe
And we cannot dare to dream
Our lost nightmare of lonely screams
The Spirit of the Abyss

hook

Or if you don't swim
Or if you don't swim
Instrumental

verse

The Spirit of the Abyss, what becomes of it?
What becomes of it?
Escape the sinking ship
Institutions that we know and trust
All turn doubt in the amber of
And society's corrupt
Have you finally had enough?
In silent road the whirlwind out
The souls are trapped inside our flesh

chorus

Freedom, is death
One slow breath
One slow breath
One slow breath
One slow breath

chorus

Freedom, is death
One slow breath
One slow breath
One slow breath
One slow breath

outro

One slow breath
One slow breath
One slow breath
Writer(s): Anton A Newcombe, Sean Rivers
