Dm     C               Bb
come hard through the fog
blind folded and bound
til we stand at the edge
of a hole in the ground

Bb                     Dm
we hold hands and we jump
Bb                 Dm
and as we fall, we sing
Bb                      F           Bb
paupers hammering the walls of the castle
F                  C
going to meet the king


F                        Bb
never sleep, remember to breathe deep
Am     F                 Bb       C
never sleep, remember to breathe
        Dm
breathe deep


crash in from deep space
shot birds falling fast
who will be there to catch us in his jaw
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
         Dm   C
breathe deep 
            Bb
and breathe humbly
F                       C
secure your mouthpiece when you can


toxic shapes 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
