Breathe It

from Mineo by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

When they say it's just a silly phase
They never had a taste of it
Double-crossed fully exploit
If I breathe it in, will they breathe it in

You like to have it black and white
Then try to read between the lines
I never monochromed my life
I just breathe it in, let me breathe it in

Tell you: time to make a choice
All they do is Sophie you
They make you mute so they can voice
But still I breathe it in, let me breathe it in

Not put but push you into a box
Mortification fits like a glove
Orientation forced through detox
Because you breathe it in, yes, you breathe it in

Don't ask for a general escape
That's freebee to their communal rape
You take a social leap of faith
Once you breathe it in, and still I breathe it in

No matter who, they're always touching you
But, dude, you just haven't a clue
You're such a total waste of air
I never breathe you in when I breathe it in

Still they say it's just a silly phase
While they never had a taste of it
Double-crossed fully exploit
But still I breathe it in, let me breathe it in
