Oxygen I can take
And the sadness shakes
All the best of me
All the worst of me
Down to the shriveled up marrow
Of my bones
Oxygen I can take
And the pill I break
Shared in halves
Cut the pain
That I've known
Oxygen in my mind
If I could only find
Some sort of distraction
Some deterrent
Like flocks of geese
Or Ocean waves
Breathing lips
On blue pale skin
Oh Oxygen I remember
How you used to be
How you kept me alive
And taught me how to breathe
Friend that nourished me
