Stacking Theory - Breathe In and Hold It

from SpinTunes 20 Round 2 by Spintunes

/

about

the iodine tingles through your veins
“breathe in and hold it” they say
as magnetic fields resonate / as the machine bumps and grinds around you
tiny robot arms inside you
every year the same / breathe in and hold it
another oddity / breathe in and hold it
a moment of cautious relief
a beat / two beats
another oddity
the machine bumps and grinds again

so you breathe in and you hold it

and I hold you
yeah

lyrics

take the wind out
breathe in and hold it
open you up and
predict your future
are we through?
and wishing they would just say….

yeah

Is there something
or is it nothing?
holding you and
redact my feelings
keep it tight
when the fuck will they come back and just say….

yeah

Breathe in
it’s an anniversary you don’t celebrate
Hold it
it’s a ghost that comes to haunt you in year number eight
Breathe in
the rising pressure has your measure and you start to fade
Hold it
you ask me if I’m here forever and you hear me say...

yeah
