Beautiful Gas Mask

[Verse 1]
Come hard through the fog
Blindfolded and bound
Till we stand at the edge
Of a hole in the ground

We hold hands, and we jump
And as we fall, we sing
Paupers hammering the walls of the castle
Going to meet the king
[Chorus]
Never sleep, remember to breathe deep
Never sleep, remember to breathe
Breathe deep

[Verse 2]
Crash in from deep space
Shot birds falling fast
Who will be there to catch us in his jaw
When we arrive, alive, at last?

I can't hear you in the dark
Wish I knew where you'd gone
Know you're there, off in the shadows somewhere
Try to soldier on

[Chorus]
Never sleep, remember to breathe deep
Never sleep, remember to breathe
Breathe deep

[Bridge]
And breathe humbly
Secure your mouthpiece when you can

[Verse 3]
Toxic shapes adorn the walls
As we rise from our knees
Someone's coming to reward us, you wait and see
Or crush us both like fleas
[Chorus]
Never sleep, remember to breathe deep
Never sleep, remember to breathe
Breathe deep
