Hallucinations Lyrics

David Usher

Breathe
Hallicinations start to fade
All the colours are back to grey
I never understood these things I hated,
But now, as we all disappear
The world becomes quiet clearly
Something I can live in
If I could just get through tonight
The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything
I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
I'm standing at the top looking down,
Thought it'd be so damn easy
I thought it would be easier
Wait, hallucinations back in place
I said I'd call if I can't face
Another day of normal
That's what they gave me
But now the telephone's on fire
And I can't seem to dial
Even though I know
You're there to save my soul tonight
The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything
I can't feel anything
I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet
Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound
The poison's in my head
And I can't feel my legs
I'm not feeling anything
I'm standing at the top looking down
Thought I'd be so free
Float in outerspace, take a breath
Don't you breathe too deep
Stepping off the top, feel the wind
Underneath my feet
Standing at the top looking down
Float in outerspace; there's no sound
I feel alive
I feel alive
I feel alive...
