The Mountain Goats - Beautiful Gas Mask lyrics

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 Never sleep, remember to breathe deep Never sleep, remember to breathe Breathe deep Crash in from deep space Shot birds falling fast Who will be there to catch us in his jaws 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 Never sleep, remember to breathe deep Never sleep, remember to breathe Breathe deep and breathe humbly Secure your mouthpiece when you can Toxic shades 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 Never sleep, remember to breathe deep Never sleep, remember to breathe Breathe deep
