It Was Fear Of Myself That Made Me Odd

Alexisonfire

(Breathe in all the air)



Spinning, arms spread

Crushing the tops of mountains

With my hands

As I dive into the Pacific

I flood the shorelines



And I exhale

Causing the oceans' endless waves

As I emerge

Shaking the wreckage from my hair

With my hands



I want to breathe

Life into the Dead Sea



As this rainforest

Falls beneath my knees

I want to breathe

Life into the Dead Sea



Below, where is your boat?

You are slow, you are slow



I will play, the sky is black

Breathe in all the air

Exhale and choke the land with carbon

From where I stand

I can see the curvature of the Earth

And I want to make it flat



I will play, the sky is black

I will play, the sky is black.
