i breathe in, you breathe out - elliot valentine lee, mel hornyak lyrics

Loading...

hao

you don’t like sweets
just blackened coffee

if i can’t tempt you back with these
i’ll try with memory
this is made of words
please follow them to me

i’ve always loved sweets
s*x, and sleeping
the pleasures of the earth

but i’d rather come back as your cat
or a worm inside your ear
just so i could be with you
somewhere very near
i wouldn’t want to be a god
clouds are all they care about
when we fall asleep at night
i breathe in
you breathe out
some days i come home
sweating, weary
itching for a fight
and then you touch me
tender, golden
my chest pours out with light

and i don’t need to say a word
don’t need water, food, or rest

there are no thoughts to cloud it
no promises to doubt
when we fall asleep at night
i breathe in
you breathe out

how can i fear the t**th of the world
if the world is safe in my bed?

i’ve always been chased from place to place
by riots, or fire, or shame
i never asked why you left your home
or taught you the tones of my name
nothing of yours could frighten me
so why should you not know?
i let you think that i trust you less
and i let you let me go

(anthony, listening, takes a stick and kneels next to hao. józef begins to become more corporeal as hao and anthony sing together.)

hao
you make me new sweets*

anthony
you buy iced coffee*

hao
with spices we shared

anthony
you wait up at night*

hao
you roast me a pepper*

anthony
you hum when i’m scared

anthony/hao
and you don’t need to say a word
i’d do the same for you
passing favors back and forth
making one life out of two
why deny the sweets
you’d have a bitter life without?
when we fall asleep at night
(hao touches a hand to anthony’s wrist to stop him from singing)

hao
i breathe in

(he waits.)

hao
i breathe in

(he waits.)

hao
i breathe in

józef
(with great effort)
i breathe out

(hao looks up, finally seeing józef for the first time, and collapses into his arms.)
