Breathe Lyrics by Jawbox

For Your Own Special Sweetheart

1994

[Verse 1]
A minute, a second
A half-life, a minus
A segment, a blinder
Elective detention
It's secession time
Paid for by cutting backwards
It's election time
Letting every insult become presidential injury

[Chorus]
(I'm begging you just hold my head up)
This last disgrace, breathe in my face
Bleed in distaste, bless this amen
Final lesson

[Verse 2]
A minute, a second
A half-life, a minus
A second reminder
Selective attention
It's secession time
Paid for by cutting backwards
It's insurrection time
Letting every insult be accepted into history

[Chorus]
(I'm begging you just hold my head up)
This last disgrace, breathe in my face
Bleed in distaste, bless this amen
Final lesson (Na-na-na)
Final lesson

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
This last disgrace, bless this amen
Final lesson (Na-na-na)
Final lesson (Na-na-na)
Final lesson (Na-na-na)
Final lesson (Na-na-na)
Final lesson
