A live staple, “Breathe Underwater” received the Redux treatment with a slow version recorded for the re-release of the record in 2010. It also features on their 2016 compilation A Place For Us To Dream, one of only 4 non-single tracks out of 36.
The track appears to be closely linked to the theme...
[Verse 1]
Here comes another fall from grace
I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love I'm trying to replace
I try to kill this song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a fever coming on
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside
[Chorus]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long
[Verse 2]
Take my ego for a ride
'Cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify
And it won't be long till I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it's the last time I swear
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside
[Chorus]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long
[Bridge]
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
[Chorus]
Breathe underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long
[Outro]
I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming, coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
