Lyrics

[Verse 1] I know what I wanted, I know what I wanted I know how I wanted this to be Go down to the water, drink down of the water Walk up off the water, leave it be But this is not my dream, brother, it is cold in heaven And I'm not sprouting wings [Chorus] I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me, yeah (Breathing ourselves) [Verse 2] See, those birds? Lying birds They don't look to heaven They don't need religion, they can see Go down to the water, drink down fn the water Fly up off the water, leave them be This is not my dream, sister, it is cold in heaven And no one's coming after me [Chorus] I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me, yeah (Breathing ourselves) [Verse 3] You know I am tired, cold and bony tired Nothing's going to save me, I can see I can't say I'm fearful, I can't say I'm not afraid I am not resisting, I can see Now, I don't need a heaven, I don't need religion I am in the place where I should be I am breathing water, I am breathing water You know a body's got to breathe [Chorus] I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me, yeah (Breathing ourselves) I'm drowning (Breathing ourselves) Me, yeah (Breathing ourselves)
