Generate meaning
1
Got out of bed, could not remember my own name
2
Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame
3
Go where I go, do what I must
4
Crawl starving on my belly
5
Licking up the dry dust
6
I See the light in your window
7
Ride the elevator to the sixth floor
8
Stand with my arms at my sides as you open up the door
9
But I'm out of my element I can't breathe
10
I'm out of my element
11
I can't breathe
12
Alone with your bathroom mirror
13
Try to get my head straight
14
Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear
15
Clean slate
16
Meet up with you in the kitchen
17
Where the air is hot and dry
18
Open up all the faucets
19
Be fruitful and multiply
20
I stand where the flashing swords gleam
21
And I try to shake my head clear of the dream
22
But I'm out of my element I can't breathe
23
I'm out of my element
24
I can't breathe
25
I start to sweat I can't cool down
26
I'm scared of all the strangers in this town
27
I try to tell you just why I've come
28
It's like I've got molasses on my tongue
29
I made it through town somehow
30
But who's going to save me now?
31
I'm out of my element I can't breathe
32
I'm out of my element
33
I can't breathe
