Astrid S, Röyksopp - Breathe lyrics

How many cold
Vitriolic gazes
Before these signs
Of wear will show?

Did I ever reach out
Begging for crumbs?
Are you here in my head?
You know what I want

Say you’re building me up
But tearing me down
And I don’t want fame
I don’t want a crown
If that’s what it takes
I don’t want a part
To jump when they say
It’s not what I want

I’m one of the people
They never let breathe
Different people
Unable to breathe

Did I ever reach out
Asking your view
Your redundant thoughts on
What I should do
Say you’re building me up
But tearing me down
And I don’t want fame
I don’t want a crown
And the things that you crave
Are not in my heart
If you’re here in my head now
You see what I want

It’s every time
It’s every time
Every time, I try
It’s every time, I try
