Was I tearin' at the seams
The south is full of faded dreams
When a newborn baby breathes
It’s first breath, the air is neva clean
It’s neva clean, but it’s breathin'

Sleepin' in and late talkin'
Tear my insides apart and start ova
Lungs burnin' like fire
In a waitin' room, so plastic
See myself in a pill and swallow
Melt the eyes of a child

Am I a leaner, a day or night dreamer
Began a sequence 
The meanin' was deeper and frequent
Now it’s shallow, but not sinkin'

Sleepin' in and late talkin'
Tear my insides apart and start ova
Lungs burnin' like fire
In a waitin' room, so plastic
See myself in a pill and swallow
Melt the eyes of a child

When a new born baby breathes
It’s first breath, the air is neva clean
It’s neva clean, but it’s breathin'

In a waitin' room, so plastic
See myself in a pill and swallow
Melt the eyes of a child
