James Labrie - Just Let Me Breathe lyrics

[Verse 1] Open your eyes And turn off your mind Step right up folks and you will find A growing trend An epidemic Spread with zen And hypodermics [Pre-Chorus] Just close your mind You can find all you need with your eyes [Chorus] The big machines take care of You until you k** yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe [Verse 2] A daily dose of eMpTyV Will flush your mind right down the drain Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain Make yourself a household name [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] The big machines take care of you Until you k** yourself And then the sales go through the roof Calculated, formulated Feed my head with simple thoughts And let me breathe instead of being taught All bottled up and tearing at the seams I'm bored Just let me breathe [Verse 3] Strike up your best angst ridden posture Manufactured anger Let's not forget my legacy All my heroes have failed me Now they're dead and buried [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] The big machines will take care of you Until the fashion fades And the checks go through My bank roll's red and my face is blue And still they'll turn their backs on you for Someone new [Outro] Feed my head With some real thoughts And let me think instead Of being taught I'll say things You won't believe Just stand back Just let me breathe
