Death came to my door, and found the welcome lacking So he huffed and puffed and screamed 'til he'd grown weary of attacking Death has called it quits, having grown tired of trying Every breath I breathe is death defying I was born with a week to live, but was too wild to die So I stuck it out and sang my song of blood curdling cry My body may be broken, but my spirit is flying Every breath I breathe is death defying I free climbed mountains, jumped from planes, and played the matador Hard to think how I could have pushed my luck any more. I shouted "Death" at every step, but death knew I was lying Every breath I breathe is death defying So catch the lightning quick, thrash the thunder with your fists Lash the ocean's tide for as long as it persists Whisper wishes to the wind, then scream as it's replying Every breath I breathe is death defying I do defy thee death With every breath every beat of my heart With every part With my whole fucking soul Daring death defying I'm denying Ever dying I still got to give more Got too much to live for The pearly gates are closed, sealed with thick pearly chains My conscience cries for mercy sporting scars and stains I know that there are rules but they could use some clarifying Every breath I breathe is death defying My life may seem mundane, but it's the only one I know I do my best to face the sun and live and love and grow I offered up the best of me, but nobody was buying Every breath I breathe is death defying The sky seems to be falling, diving low and gray But I shine sun inside my heart and push the gloom away Rain clouds are clearing up, gutters finally drying Every breath I breathe is death defying The life that I've been living unfolds as infinite I race against the close, since there's no way of winnin' it And so I'm digging deeper, picking and prying Every breath I breathe is death defying I do defy thee death With every breath every beat of my heart With every part With my whole fucking soul Daring death defying I'm denying Ever dying I still got to give more Got too much to live for I'm cashing in my credit, compiling all I've got Melt it to a silver bullet, shoot a lucky shot I tried to get some payment for the efforts I'm applying Every breath I breathe is death defying I'm chiseling my bones down to points to spear my prey My heart the only hope to pump me up throughout the day I'm seeking comfort in the sagging skin I'm occupying Every breath I breathe is death defying The day will come I'll gift wrap and give up the ghost By then I hope I've done my deeds, living more than most I'm holding baited breath, but my inner self is sighing Every breath I breathe is death defying I know that someday I will face that final frontier And I hope to face it open eyed, conquering my fear I'm sweating hard enough I got no fluid left for crying Every breath I breathe is death defying I do defy thee death With every breath every beat of my heart With every part With the whole of my soul Daring death defying I'm denying Ever dying. I still got to give more. Got too much to live for.
