I am barely breathing and I can't find the air.
**Explored**
I know what you're doing, I see it all too clear
I only taste the saline when I kiss away your tears
You really had me going, wishing on a star
But the black holes that surround you are heavier by far
I believed in your confusion, you were so completely torn
It must have been that yesterday was the day that I was born
There's not much to examine, there's nothing left to hide
You really can't be serious if you have to ask me why
I say goodbye...
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price, worth the price
The price that I would pay
Everyone keeps asking, what's it all about?
I used to be so certain and I can't figure out
What is this attraction? I only feel the pain
There's nothing left to reason and only you to blame
Will it ever change?
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway, I'm thinking it over anyway
I've come to find, I may never know
Your changing mind, is it friend or foe?
I rise above, or sink below
With every time, you come and go
Please don't come and go
'Cause I am barely breathing
And I can't find the air
Don't know who I'm kidding
Imagining you care
And I could stand here waiting
A fool for another day
But I don't suppose it's worth the price, it's worth the price
The price that I would pay
But I'm thinking it over anyway...I'm thinking it over anyway
Well, I know what you're doing...I see it all too clear...
- Duncan Sheik, Barely Breathing
I'm not somebody who searches for hidden motives at every turn. I take people at their face value. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and yes, that does mean that I am occasionally hurt. But I won't stop being the person who I am. I give people the benefit of the doubt. I'm an optimist, I guess.
So this shot is part of our week one emulation challenge in my new group, My Face is My Canvas. Some of you already know about this group, and thank you so much for both joining with such enthusiasm, and for getting into this first challenge of ours. Every week we'll be selecting a new photo of some brilliant face art, and all of our members are challenged with emulating that shot in any way they choose. This week, Vic chose an incredibly amazing white on white shot, and I have to say I'm not entirely happy with how my emulation turned out. But it's still fun to try! If you haven't checked the group out yet, then do! It's a lot of fun using your face to express yourself. And this group isn't limited to just face painting. Because if you know me at all, you know that my favorite thing to do is stick truly random stuff to my face for visual effect. :) Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun!
