To Toe Dead Lines Songtext
von Chonny Jash

Breathe, Breathe
You made this deadline
You can meet it as you please
Breathe, Please
It feels like the end times
It′s just another week

Breathe, Breathe
Your heart rate is climbing
Your body's begun to seize
Breathe, Please
If the path is best walked lonely
Then why are you on your knees?


The hands of time keep moving
Slow, cruel, fine and reproving
Plans will die, and that′s uprooting
But I don't have the strength to rest just yet
The sands of time are unending
(Sands of time will not end)
(Unending)
And I'm just a man stuck pretending
(I′m just a man)
(So what can I do to mend this pressure?)
I do what I can, but the press is descending and
(This is sure to end me, but)
(When I know that)
I don′t have the strength to best
The ticking in my head

It counts dread
Each second bled undoes a loose thread
Till there's none left
I made my bed
Now, I lie
Through teeth shining bright
Soaked in peroxide
"I′m doing fine"
If so, then why can't I breathe?

Breathe, Breathe
Why are they all watching?
What is it they want to see?
Breathe, Please, just breathe
Iambic in heart
Penta-arrhythmic beat


Breathe, Breathe, Breathe
Toeing upon a deadline at a catatonic speed
Get the hell back up on your feet
It′s my own damn life
I'll bring it to ruin how I please

The hands of time keep strangling
With grip so tight, while they′re wrangling
What they can find to keep me hanging
But the neck of the marionette's left rent

I need to keep up appearances
Well I've appeared, have I not?
I rushed out the door to adorn the light that′s on this spot
The cogs keep turning, but the line′s running dead
The power's been cut off, but it can′t not be met
The ever-ticking deadline inside my head of
Dread

These seconds bled tighten these loose ends
Right 'round my neck
I made my bed
Now, I lie
Through teeth blinding white
Stained by peroxide
"I′m doing fine"
If so, then why can't I-

The end begins as soon as this has been started
(These seconds bled)
The fuse is lit
(Through teeth blinding white)
And so, I race it in an endless sprint

But I guess it beats the alternative
