Three Breaths

breathing for wits and breathing for steps
trying to find a bond so i can save my breath
unless you can take what's left and then
throw it into bed til dawn and when
sunlight reaches breath one i'll lay down again
i'll lay down again
lay down again

sleeping for tips and sleeping for drive
teaching all my self to keep up inside
to keep up and stay up and to forge my fire
to light it all to burn it up but keep it right
when fire reaches breath two i'll stay up all night
stay up all night
up all night

eating with lips and eating with fools
try and teach a twit to eat without drool
or pass it off and take off and save that food
for the stomach the soul the heart the dry one too
and when hunger reaches breath three i'll know what to do
know what to do
what to do

i'll live
