Breathing Up My Skin Lyrics
[verse 1]
Tiny pieces of my body falling off of me
Floating through the air like microscopic leprosy
I pervade the atmosphere, I grow in all the trees
Everyone on Earth is breathing molecules of me
[Chorus]
I may be gone
But I am not forgotten
I am where I've always been
Anywhere you go you will be breathing up my skin
You are breathing up my skin
[verse 2]
If by chance my tiny pieces wash into the sea
They will come ashore as six inch replicas of me
Even if I'm dead and buriеd like I know you'd want
I'll live on inside your body breeding in your lungs
[Chorus]
I may bе gone
But I am not forgotten
I am where I've always been
Anywhere you go you will be breathing up my skin
You are breathing up my skin
I may be gone
But I am not forgotten
I am where I've always been
Anywhere you go you will be breathing up my skin
You are breathing up my skin (3x)
