lyrics

I find solace in fate.
Life's so short and I can't be sure it's working out.
I've spent all my time
defending my life from the pain,
from regretting.

O Brother... where art thou?
O Mother... I'm seeing you cry.
I wait to be by your side.
O Brother... why'd you have to die?

Stagnant and alone.
Preferential to company.
Seemingly a nasty joke, though I choke
my own tears down my throat.

Oh, I never thought about breathing in and breathing out.
No, I never thought about breathing in and breathing out. (repeat)

O Brother... where art thou?
O Mother... I'm seeing you cry.
I wait to be by your side.
O Brother... why'd you have to die?

O Brother... I never saw you cry.
O Brother... I didn't know you hurt inside.
O Brother... you didn't ask for help that night.
O Brother... I wish you didn't die.

Oh, I never thought about breathing in and breathing out.
No, I never thought about breathing in and breathing out. (repeat)
