[Verse 1]
Sense of secure, security
You do what you're told
Don't care to leave
Confined by thought
Brainwashed at night
Forget that you were born with any given rights
Care to see with clarity
Get up and off your lap of luxury

[Chorus]
Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?
[Verse 2]
Sense of stable, stability
Keeps you locked down, complacency
What if there's more
To what life holds
Move on forget the things that you were oversold

[Chorus]
Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?
Put your arms around me, I can feel you drown me
Cut me loose
Cut me loose
Cut me loose

[Bridge]
Swinging
Swinging
Swinging from that velvet noose
Breathing
Breathing
Breathing, cut me loose

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Cut me loose
Yeah
Cut me loose
Cut me loose
Cut
[Chorus]
Can you hear me breathing while you watch me swinging
From that velvet noose?
(I'm hanging on now)
Put your arms around me, I can feel you drown me
(I'm hanging on now)
Cut me loose
(I'm hanging on now)
Cut me loose
(I'm hanging on now)
Cut me loose
Cut me loose, I say
(I'm hanging on now)
Cut me loose, to know
(I'm hanging on now)
Cut me loose
C'mon, I beg to you, cut me loose
So, yeah!

[Outro]
Swinging
Swinging
Swinging, cut me loose
Ahhh, breathing
Ahhh, breathing
Ahhh, breathing
I'm hanging on now
I'm hanging on now
