Breathless (1971) - Peter Pepper

Lyrics:

Teardrops shadow my sight
This darkness had no twilight
It’s empty, it’s empty
Can’t breathe, I’m nervous
The hunger’s plenty, so plenty
but serves no purpose
Tomorrows are always worse
Much, much worse than before
Sorrows they curse us
curse us down to the core
Can’t take it anymore

The pressure
The pressure, it will test you
Can’t live, won’t die
No peace, the sky is falling upon me
Lord, your calling’s beyond me
I try to forget but I’m running up a sweat
Just breathless
Breathless

Close my eyes, let them be
Open my dreams, set them free
It seems I’m weary, so weary
I fear me
The future is dreary
The strength is clearly gone forever
I merely weather the pressure
Lord, I better be tough
yet my best was never enough
You know, I did my very best
Now let me rest, please, let me rest

The pressure
The pressure, it will test you
Can’t live, won’t die
No peace, the sky is falling upon me
Lord, your calling’s beyond me
I try to forget but I’m running up a sweat
Just breathless
Breathless

Close my eyes, let them be
Open my dreams, set them free
It seems I’m weary, so weary
I fear me
The future is dreary
The strength is clearly gone forever
I merely weather the pressure
Just breathless
Breathless

Embroiled in despair
Is this fair?
Must be
