Dan Goodwin - Breathing Fear lyrics

So full of hope that he can't sit still Even in the presence of strangers He's expecting his favourite guest The boy with easy virtues But when the boy arrives He's got a black eye From the lads who plague us outside He laughs and calls for the world to die Then hugs and kisses it better **Chorus** Tell him why do you go to extremes And how it must show **** He's half-full of courage and he Stumbles to work Where they b**h about their babies They ask him where he got his bruises., He mumbles excuses, he lies and lies He cannot allow them to finish him off Over-heated, overwrought He refuses to die like a saint Half-believed and always deceived **** Chorus **** Giving us grief for centuries now Can't you ever rest? Beaten, insulted, skewered and branded Isn't waking enough? You're breathing this fear just once a year We suffocate every day Hey... you're breathing this fear just once a year We suffocate every day!
