Oxygen is 1999 film, directed and written by Richard Shepard. The film follows a troubled and (unbeknownst to her husband) masochistic cop, Madeline Foster (played by Maura Tierney) as she pursues a kidnapper who calls himself Harry Houdini (Adrien Brody). The film bears a resemblance to the 1958 film Macabre.
"Harry Houdini" (Adrien Brody) has kidnapped and buried alive a rich businessman's wife. He demands $1 million in cash from the woman's husband in return for the release of the location of her burial site before she runs out of oxygen. He also states that if police involvement is initiated, he will ensure she is never found alive. As expected, however, police involvement is initiated and Detective Madeline Foster (Maura Tierney) is assigned with the task of finding the buried woman as soon as possible, together with catching Houdini.
It is quickly realized though that Houdini, in fact, wanted the police to get involved so he could commit a second kidnapping - that of Foster. When Houdini is finally caught as the result of a car chase involving him and Detective Foster, he embroils her into his terrifying psychological world as she attempts to get him to reveal the location of his buried victim. When Foster's initial interrogation of Houdini proves unsuccessful, the FBI are assigned to take over the case, although they do not have any more luck. In a plot twist, it is revealed that Houdini has already committed a murder, that of his accomplice. He now has nothing to lose and the police realize the death of the buried woman would not be as significant as first thought.
Oxygen ( /ˈɒksɨdʒɨn/ OK-si-jin) is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. Its name derives from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys) ("acid", literally "sharp", referring to the sour taste of acids) and -γενής (-genēs) ("producer", literally "begetter"), because at the time of naming, it was mistakenly thought that all acids required oxygen in their composition. At standard temperature and pressure, two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a very pale blue, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas with the formula O2.
Oxygen is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table and is a highly reactive nonmetallic element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements. Oxygen is a strong oxidizing agent and has the second-highest electronegativity of all the elements (only fluorine has a higher electronegativity). By mass, oxygen is the third-most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen and helium and the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust, making up almost half of the crust's mass. Free oxygen is too chemically reactive to appear on Earth without the photosynthetic action of living organisms, which use the energy of sunlight to produce elemental oxygen from water. Elemental O2 only began to accumulate in the atmosphere after the evolutionary appearance of these organisms, roughly 2.5 billion years ago. Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.8% of the volume of air.

I'm twice born, once and seven something
Once is the resurrection of honorable function
Been shoveling a coal as the engine's doctor
Long enough to see my silhouette acquire a permanent kink in a posture
The metenance of icicle spirit by the warmth of true endearment
Was, is, and forever will be a luxury
I'm a soubrette columnist fathering doom document
Cursed version of a certain Virgin Mary womb occupant
[Verse One]
I know swamp rats who never suckled oxygen purification
Sure it's blurry may have had them speeennnd breeezzzzze
Stuck until my friend leaves puppet for the plummet committee
Sputtering bum numb enough to stomach the city
Who's that hugging a silhouette of willows with a hill's crest pan out?
On the candy coated crab apples, sugar dipped deadpan outs
I got a plan, I'll turnaquet my quest
Defeat a needle into battling to mute the mess
With patience galas with absentee balance I shove in the button
Strutting to exhibit mankind's hostility function
With a, ppppppppp paling in comparison a methias Goliath
Live to riggedy frame in a wicked silence
I top and ate my nameless square then I bumped eyelids
With a Christ we saw the same thing through a second
What's that? The grand mosaic depicting historical glory in a legend
Nurse me through the time stick and stone mixes hex my fertile crescent
Now all's well, I'm laughing on the inside I swear
Just trying to keep my head above red tide despair
My imperfections pair off with buddy system symmetrics morbidly
So every second the discontent's locked accordingly
Let's turn mummy's shut up affection a berserk glory condition
And pray for the day a star child tugs the ribbon
Meddle in a two-hand grip when that spoon full of sugar medical chaser
Credible crasser antidote's terrible taste the
Water with a stolen soul pen left picture mad rhythm pinned
Never set a grin and fly health
Consider me a mobile advertisement for that hybrid plan of fabrics
I deemed practical, now is you is or is you ain't compatible
I feel a wind in my opinions plus hyper clutch
Crush one's ginger bread tenement awful,
It's like the date of Grado Methasawmill
A lifeline of spectacular expansion leaves the reaper
At the hand of what man's hand jokes
My friend's got a book about dreams, I look and laugh
I dream a book about my friends and still can't decipher the half
Ch-chatter boooox, now let a soothe sayer major
Cater to a king green battered on the brink of disease
I am, skin and bones, I am, sin and poems, I am, tin and chrome
You grin and groans fuck it I'm tinted when accrete zone
Blow the pedals off a dandelion trying to make my little gypsy blush
And felt as if I'd actually accomplish something
Fortify the bullies of the jokes soaking in treatment
Sit and watch the percentages teeter on the evening
On a ghost up in a fuse a lot second before the cock dropped
In the Styx and stared him down until he fixed it
Fashion, it's cool and all but what about God?
[Oh God, well he's the man, but what about reading?]
What, like novels, man that don't hold my attention, what about television?
[Television hurts my brain, how about walking in the rain?]
I hate walking, it's boring, how about some old fashioned gone fishin'
[Yeah, fishing's great but I can't stand hooking the bait, lets dance]
I've got too left feet plus motion sickness, how about breakfast?
[Man, I'm hungry, but that means I'mma have to borrow some money]
Let's fly a kite [Let's burn the generals]
Let's sell lemonade [Let's drink]
Let's poke a hole inside the tugboat, ease on back and watch it sink
[Naw, lets scare a pupil once a year just to shake the academy]
Casually note the blossom of phantom alignment strategy
[Verse Two]
I'll make the waterfall out of order in autumn saw the quarter
When the gods mimic the vintage knuckle drag sacked in a coffin
I affiliate my rag dummy appearance with a most cohesive spirit
Clattering the yesterday ain't shed a tear since
Hear me, wrote the Old Yeller community cartoon
The carousel balloon extravagant aware, inviting it
I'm swore to Adam and matter and saddling
Warhead thorax and abdomen to primitive horse back galloping
My index fingers rest in my talisman branded up in the jackals skin
One must pardon yee old common street detour
Weaving graceful through the prom directed column
Greater virus retreats to a lot in Valom
Bean stalk where the fiend walk and my name is mud
But that's got a ring to it so my swill welcomes the flood
I walk through God's practical joke on man practically broke
And if they raise my rent again I'll spend my nights practically soaked
Who spits silk dimensions with a noose looped by the raft?
After lack of reasoning jedi 3, 2, 1,
Oooh I'm hung, I've clung to hope but see you in hell
I'll be that clear blue icicle that simply refused to melt
Sturdy eye krulin, tin can skeleton,
Skull of a thousand dilapidated dream remnants
Here to convict based on a tin bucket of evidence
I wanna run away
I wanna get away
But I will never get up
Oh, won't you help me up?
I rely on oxygen
I depend on bitter snow
I rely on oxygen
I depend on bitter cold
I want to know
Why it hurts to stay
Hurts to go away
Will I be okay?
Crawled out of the mud
This filth you called your love
Slept for countless days
But I'll be okay
I wanna run away
I wanna get away
But I will never get up
Oh, won't you help me up?
I rely on oxygen
I depend on bitter snow
I rely on oxygen
I depend on the bitter cold
I didn't know I could feel this low
(Oxygen)
So afraid that I'll watch you go
(Bitter snow)
I didn't know I could feel this low
(Oxygen)
So afraid that I'll watch you go
(Bitter cold)
Take my strength out
But I'm not down
Write this reverse
I'm not down
I wanna run away
I wanna get away
But I will never get up
Oh, won't you help me up?
Take my strength out
But I'm not down
Write this reverse
I take each breath as if it is my first
I hold it there, so deep inside me
'Til I'm about to burst
I speak each word as if it is your name
I move my lips... I see the whisper
Stir the gentle flame
Your heart beats and so does mine
Your love moves
And I know I'm alive
CHORUS
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in
I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love
You are what life's about
I take each breath as if it is my last
You never know what came so slowly
Could leave us, oh, so fast
I take each step as if it is to lyou
I hear your voice
I feel your presence
In everything I do
My soul sleeps, your love revives
Our hearts meet
And I know I'm alive
The air is thick, the flower sweet
The shadow comes down
Tonight the moon is at my feet
And I breathe you in
I breathe you in
I breathe you in to me
I'm nobody without you
I take each breath as if it is my first
I hold it there, so deep inside me
'Til I'm about to burst
I speak each word as if it is your name
I move my lips and I taste the moment
Still it sounds the same
Your hand moves and so does mine
Our eyes meet and I know I'm alive
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love you are what life's about
I take each breath as if it is my last
You never know what came so slowly
Could leave us, oh, so fast
I take each step as if it is to you
I hear your voice I feel your presence
In everything I do
My body sleeps, your lips revives
Our hearts beat And I know I'm alive
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
You are my love you are what life's about
I'm nobody without You
If You were not here what would I do
You are my oxygen
I breathe you in I breathe you out
You are my oxygen
There will come a time
I know I'm gonna need
Someone I can trust, someone who'll fight for me
That's the way I love
This is my time to work things out
What I want from this life
There will be someone out there for me
That's the way I love
It doesn't really matter who ever you are
Don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when love knocks at your door
You're the breath that I take
You're the smile on my face
Every time I breath in
Brings me warmth from within
When you touch me I start believing
Loving is like oxygen
Even when we're so far apart
I still feel you in my heart
Cos you've given me the greatest gift of all
That's the way I love
The way I love is easy, but could it ever be for me?
This situation seems so insane
It's all about feeling without insecurities
That's the way I love
It doesn't really matter who ever you are
Don't matter where you go
Just make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when love knocks at your door
You're the breath that I take
You're the smile on my face
Every time I breath in
Brings me warmth from within
When you touch me I start believing
Loving is like oxygen
(You're in every breath I take)
Imagine a life without love
I'd be so afraid (so afraid)
Cos the love that we share
Would be hard to replace
Baby hold me and never leave me
This love is my oxygen
(This love is my oxygen)
Open your heart
Take a deep breath
Stop searching and start believing
Make sure you're there to answer when love comes around
Don't be surprised when true love knocks at your door
You're the breath that I take
You're the smile on my face
Every time I breath in
Brings me warmth from within
When you touch me (I start believing)
Loving is like oxygen
(You're in every breath I take)
Imagine a life without love
I'd be so afraid
Cos the love that we share
Would be hard to replace
Baby hold me and never leave me
This love is my oxygen
Here we are in a room full of light and strangers
I try to be on my best behavior
Falling in love is the last thing on my mind
Standing close to a door I hear sounds of pleasure
I feel the rush as my hand draws closer
Starting to feel that someone's got a hold of me
And I don't know where it's coming from
Girl but you turn me on
And I'm out of air when I see you
Standing here watching you
The scent of your perfume takes my breath away
Drives me crazy
I need oxygen, gen, gen, oxygen, oxygen, oxygen, gen, gen
There is no way back I'm electrified
And I completely lose track of time
As the clock just stops and I can't get enough of you
Want to breathe you in, want to feel your skin
Want to lose myself in this temptation
There's nothing that I can do to keep me away from you
(Keep me away from you ohhh)
And I don't know where it's coming from
Girl but you turn me on
And I'm out of air when I see you
Standing here watching you
The scent of your perfume takes my breath away
Drives me crazy
I need oxygen, gen, gen, oxygen, oxygen, oxygen, gen, gen
And I don't know where it's coming from
Girl but you turn me on
And I'm out of air when I see you
Standing here watching you
The scent of your perfume takes my breath away
Drives me crazy
I need oxygen, gen, gen, oxygen, oxygen, oxygen, gen, gen
Oxygen, oxygen, gen, gen
Oxygen, oxygen, gen, gen
I have something that I wanna share with you
I find it so hard to make the words explain
If there was one thing left I could embrace
It'd be your face, it'd be your grace
I take you in
Like...
Oxygen
You're the air I'm breathing
Oxygen
I breathe the Breath of Life
I am dreaming of flying through the air with you
I feel communion
Between the love that was and is and shall be
If there was one thing left I could embrace
It'd be your face, it'd be your grace
When it seems I'd drown in all my sin
I take you in...like oxygen
You're the one who touches me
Surrounding me
Then I breathe...life
You're the one who touches me
Surrounding me
Then I breathe...life

I came apart inside a world made of angry people
I found a boy who had a dream, making everyone smile
He was sunshine, I fell over
My feet like bricks underwater
And how am I supposed to tell you how I feel?
I need oxygen
Oh baby, if I was your lady
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby, I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you
And so I found a state of mind where I could be speechless
I had to try it for a while to figure out this feeling
This felt so right pull me upside down
To a place where you've been waiting
And how am I supposed to tell you how I feel?
I need oxygen
Oh baby, if I was your lady
I would make you happy
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby, I will be your lady
I am going crazy for you
And you don't want to keep me waiting
Staring at my fingers, feeling like a fool
Oh baby, I will be your lady
I will make you happy
I'm never gonna leave, never gonna leave
Oh baby, I will be your lady
I am going crazy, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Tell me what you want
Baby, tell me what you need
Anything I ask baby, give it to me
Baby, give it to me, give it to me
I came apart inside a world made of angry people
This was supposed to be a place where we all felt safe
Everyone is looking around to see what the others have
Outside the world is breaking and soon it will be in our hands
We cover up our eyes and fill them with distractions so we don't have to see
Miseducate our minds and fill them with distractions so we don't have to think
Is anyone willing to change to make this a better place?
Is everyone feeling cheated? Then say something, sing with me.
One more beat of my heart brings blood to my brain
Blood to my brain carries oxygen, oxygen fuels my memory
Is this what you mean by breathe?
Is this what you mean when you say to remember the times we've had
When all this is said and done, there's no looking back
Sometimes you have to close your eyes to see
We're here with the curve of the Earth in every direction
Short sleeves and warm skin
Losing coins, calling next of kin
Dropping words about the city we're in
Ponds compressed by heavy air
Us without care just sprawling there
God's in our world
Airports and undergrounds
Waiting to find the unfound
Rising to pure insanity
Here when you want me
True love has no simplicity
God's in our world
You and I were going so high
The air is gettin' thin
Our land does not breathe in
We don't need oxygen
It's dreams that binds us and locks us in
The rest are impaled by sense
You and I were going so high
The air is gettin' thin
Our land does not breathe in
We don't need oxygen
It's dreams that binds us and locks us in
Cried out and suffer your elixir in my veins
Floating together when your fume goes to my brain
You are oxygen, you are oxygen, you are oxygen
Cried out and suffer your elixir in my veins
Floating together when your fume goes to my brain
You are oxygen, you are oxygen, you are oxygen
You are oxygen, you are oxygen, you are oxygen-gen-gen
You are oxygen, you are oxygen, you are oxygen-gen-gen
Cried out and suffer your elixir in my veins
Floating together when your fume goes to my brain
You are oxygen, you are oxygen, you are oxygen
So far away
We lost the way
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Empty words
Break on our lips
There's no oxygen left On our planet
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
Someone's going to die
So much noise
We're a bunch of boys
We were born to lie
I feel alive
Just when I cry
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Things we've said
And then we crashed
There's no oxygen left on our planet
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
Someone's going to die
So much noise
We're a bunch of boys
We were born to lie
Everyone, sleeping with their guns
Someone's going to die
So much noise
We're a bunch of boys
We were born to lie
So far away
We lost the way
How the air
Grows stale
On this planet my
Breathing fails
Can't you feel me gasping
For just once more from your
Oxygen filled
Lungs so pure
Breathe in
Sweet breath
Don't fall asleep
I realize completely
My failure will bring their death
Why can't they see they need
In the starship whopper box, I'm gonna crashland.
Wishin' I was home in the space van.
The sky is green and the ground is chrome.
I'd like to take my suit off but it's too fuckin' cold.
So, I go into town to grab a beer-
Didn't know humans we're so weird.
They started talkin' shit and ran me out of Dodge,
Back to the ship in the fuckin' space pod.
I need oxygen or I'm-a be dead.
If I don't get oxygen, I'm gonna be dead.
Cold chillin' on a different terrain.
I don't even know my own name.
Is it Ronny, Bobby, Ricky, or LeFrost?
I don't know because I'm lost.
I'm seein' red. It's gettin to my head.
If I don't get oxygen, I'm gonna be dead.
I need oxygen or I'm-a be dead.
If I don't get oxygen, I'm gonna be dead.
I'm flyin' the motherfuckin' UFO,
Restin' my feet on the cruise control.
Comin' straight towards Earth and it's all too slow
'Cause me and my robot don't wanna go.
Gettin' hard to breathe so I flipped the switch,
But the oxygen's out- ain't that a bitch!
Crashlandin', in the canyon.
Cursin' up a storm, straight sheer ba-bam-bam.
I need oxygen or I'm-a be dead.
If I don't get oxygen, I'm gonna be dead.
I landed on this planet, full of ugly creatures:
Furry ape-men with bumby features.
All these angry humans pollutin' the air,
Destroyin' their home without a care.
Primitive communication, primitive transportation;
Beggin' for telepathy, beggin' for deportation.
I wish I was back. I wish I wasn't stranded.
I wish I never left. I wish I never landed.
I need oxygen or I'm-a be dead.
If I don't get oxygen, I'm gonna be dead.
I need oxygen or I'm-a be dead.
I wish there was no oxygen so I could be dead.
Baby tell me is this good for you
Cause for it's a dream come true
I think about you both day and night
If this is wrong I don't care if I'm right
Cause I know one thing's for certian
Boy I'm not hurtin' for inspiration
And I feel when we're together
It could be forever and ever and ever and ever
I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Be the oxygen you breath
Is this as good as I think it is
Cause I can feel it boy when we kiss
And there's nothing more
That I would ever ask for
Than to be with you-just to be with you
Cause I know one thing's for certian
Boy I'm not hurtin' for inspiration
And I feel when we're together
It could be forever and ever and ever and ever
I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Be the oxygen you breath
What you give you will recive
So baby bring it all to me
I will warm you like the sun
I always knew you were the one, yeah
I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Be the oxygen you breath
I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Be the oxygen you breath
I wanna be the ocean to your shore
Give you comfort evermore
I wanna be the only thing you need
Standing at my door,
You float like smoke across my floor,
'Cause you're in the air,
Your chemicals are everywhere,
You flow throw me,
Sound waves and energies,
I channeled in your frequencies,
And your static electricities,
And you're so pure that way, Yeah 'cause you're so perfect that way,
I don't care I'm in the calm watching waves roll over me,
Uncover you, over me, hovering,
Blues and grays begin to fade in neon skies and clouded eyes,
The sun begins to break, it's your beautiful face,
And I don't know if these are the answers to questions,
Of loneliness, emptiness, loss of direction or the resolution to my deprivation,
'Cause I found oxygen in you, I breathe you like oxygen, I do,
And I love to watch you sleep,
Roll over steal the sheets,
Your body beckons me,
Sleep tightly in those dreams,
Yeah 'cause you're so pure that way, yeah 'cause you're perfect that way,
I don't care I'm in the calm watching waves roll over me,
Uncover you, over me, hovering,
Blues and grays begin to fade in neon skies and clouded eyes,
The sun begins to break, it's your beautiful face,
And I don't know if these are the answers to questions,
Of loneliness, emptiness, loss of direction or the resolution to my deprivation,
'Cause I found oxygen in you, I breathe you like oxygen, I do,
In and out, in and out of your reality,
Oh you're in the air, you don't know but you love to breathe
In and out, weightless gravity,
Oh you're in the air with every breathe you love to save me
And I don't know if these are the answers to questions,
Of loneliness, emptiness, loss of direction or the resolution to my deprivation,
You keep me wanting,
Here is my confession,
You walk the line dividing love and obsession,
You keep me from going under,
You're all that I,
all that I live for,
You're all that I,
All that I need,
You're the air,
That I breathe
You're oxygen to me,
You're the air,
That I breathe,
You're oxygen to me,
Lets make it clear so there's no indecision,
There's nothing in our way to cloud our vision of us,
The two of us,
You're all that I,
all that I live for,
You're all that I,
All that I need,
You're the air,
That I breathe
You're oxygen to me,
You're the air,
That I breathe,
You're oxygen to me,
Breathe you in,
Hold you inside,
Can't you see my love is blind?
We're the same,
You and I,
And I need you to survive,
You're all that I,
all that I live for,
You're all that I,
All that I need,
You're the air,
That I breathe
You're oxygen to me,
You're the air,
That I breathe,
Oxygen
You touch my skin
Change the mood I'm in
Teach me how to fly
Just by looking in my eyes
Every word you say
Sets my heart on fire
Every move you make
Takes me higher
I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
Whenever you are near I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need
Suddenly
Suddenly I see
How great my life can be
Sailing in the wind
With you my love
Every day is brighter
I get so high up here
When I touch the sky
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
Whenever you are near I can hardly speak
It hurts me when I breathe
I need oxygen
I need oxygen
I need
With you my love
I can't sit back and watch
You jump in the deep end
With him as your oxygen
'Cause it's a long way to fall
When you sink to the bottom
Hoping he'll change again
You're drowning in tears
And how can you breathe
Underwater
Believe those lies much longer
He cheats you, deceives you
With heavy hands he holds you
So cold, with a heart of fool's gold
Caught in the undertow
You'll always be the one
To say there's no black and white
Well I must be colour blind
'Cause it's a long way to fall
When you sink to the bottom
Leaving it all behind
And I know it's hard
To see through it now
'Cause he says he'll change
As he's pulling you down
I can't sit back and watch
You jump in the deep end
Do you wanna play a game?
We go through life sweeping demons
under the beds we sleep in..
And I am trapped inside a twisted
world until my game begins..
And all my lies and my mistakes
are catching up with me today..
Cause now i'm bound and
locked up in chains..
Do you wanna play a game?
It's time to pay for what you've done..
Do you wanna play a game?
Cause what you are, and what I am
is the sickness i've become now..
I'll cut you up and down
and inside out
and rip you limb from limb..
There will be blood shed..
There will be nightmares..
There will be slicing of the skin..
I've had my fortune and fame
and i've cheated my way
and I'd do it all again..
But something tells me that you brought
me here to die or repent..
Is it my time to die
cause I don't know why i've been this way..
It's all quiet now and I hear him say..
Do you wanna play a game?
It's time to pay for what you've done..
Do you wanna play a game?
Cause what you are, and what I am
is the sickness i've become now..
I'll cut you up and down
and inside out
and rip you limb from limb..
There will be blood shed..
There will be nightmares..
There will be slicing of the skin..
Do you wanna play a game?
It's time to pay for what you've done..
Do you wanna play a game?
Cause what you are, and what I am
is the sickness i've become now..
I'll cut you up and down
and inside out
and rip you limb from limb..
There will be blood shed..
There will be nightmares..
There will be slicing of the skin..
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
I'm searchin' my soul tonight
It's breakin' my heart
I'm wearin' this mask tonight
But I'm falling apart
Am I somewhere in the corners of your mind?
Do you see me when you close your eyes at night?
I will love you 'till the sun no longer shines
Am I far away or am I on your mind?
Am I on your mind?
Oh, ooh yeah
Am I on your mind?
Oh, ooh, yeah
I'm searchin' my soul tonight
I'm down on my knees
I'm tryin' to get myself together
I'm tryin' to breathe
I'm tryin' to breathe
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
Am I somewhere in the corners of your mind?
Do you see me when you close your eyes at night?
I will love you till the sun no longer shines
Am I far away or am I on your mind?
Am I on your mind?
Am I on your mind?
I'm searchin' my soul tonight
I'm searchin' my soul tonight
Am I somewhere in the corners of your mind?
Do you see me when you close your eyes at night?
I will love you till the sun no longer shines
Am I far away or am I on your mind?
Am I on your mind?
Oh, ooh, yeah
Am I on your mind?
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
Oh, ooh, yeah
Am I on your mind?
Oh, ooh, yeah
Verse 1
When you touched me I lost my breath, breath, breath
And when you kiss me all I am left, left, left
If you see me breathing heavy in my chest, chest, chest
I need oxygen, oxygen ,oxygen
Verse 2
your love takes me into outer space, space, space
I’m tryna keep up with your pace, pace, pace
I know you can see it in my face, face, face
I need oxygen ,oxygen oxygen
Verse 3
Your not from here my body can tell, tell, tell
Just for you, my love ships at sail, sail, sail
Don’t leave, rescue me you cant fail, fail, fail
Being my oxygen, oxygen, oxygen
Bridge
Your face is my heaven on earth, earth, earth
Before you went home I’m glad you stopped here first, first, first
If the angels miss you too much tell them it was worth, worth, worth
I burned all the love letters I had ever received
And I took the hot ashes and laid them at the cold queen's feet
But she didn't shed a tear at all
She just gave the order to raise a wall
To keep the lovers out and the others in
Then I was free to leave
Well I thought it was safe to turn around rest and relax
What with all those familiar faces piled up in the past
But with a trail so scorched and torn and poorly patched
There are holes that pull the precious into a collapse
If you stop to blink
So don't be surprised
If your memory dies
And your will simply fades
Like a marching parade
Dwindling down a dark street
Did your heart skip a beat
Or did time pass you by
While you were wiping the sand from your eye?
I thought you were going to follow me through these lonesome valleys
But now I'm facing scraping this stone wall all alone
And all the ghosts who once pursued me
And routinely abused me
They're no longer enthused enough
To do me any wrong
So it goes
I ran across a stranger who said he knew me when
He said "Last I heard you were in need of some oxygen
So tell me how can you hear the phone to say
That there ain't nobody home today
When you're drifting along the bottom of the ocean?"
I said "I'm afraid we've never met"
So don't be surprised
If your memory dies
And your will simply fades
Like a marching parade
Dwindling down a dark street
Did your heart skip a beat
Or did time pass you by
You are you and I am I
We are we even after we die
When we get to heaven, will we still have eyes?
Will we make love? Will we still get high?
C'mon, throw your hands up in the oxygen
Wave them around like you don't know where the time went
In heaven will we still need pagers?
Will there be self-defense? Will there be danger?
In heaven will we still need cell phones?
Will it be cold? Will we have heated homes?
So throw your hands up in the oxygen
A lifetime lived is a lifetime well spent
You got to believe it, there's no way to prove it
Show me where you hurt and I'll try to soothe it
Give me everything and I'll never lose it
Never get a change if you never get to use it
So throw your hands up in the oxygen
Wave them around like you don't know where the time went
So throw your hands up in the oxygen
A lifetime lived is a lifetime well spent
Never have I seen such a beautiful day
Never have I seen the sky look this way
Illuminated by the words you say
Everywhere you step there is no gray
You got to throw your hands up in the oxygen
I want to be your oxygen
Just for a moment
I want to be that death defying
Life defining need
I want to be your oxygen
Just for a moment
I want to feel desire you
Can cut thru for me
I m on fire to be your love
I can t breathe without your love
I can t hold my breath that long
I can t live without oxygen
I want to be your oxygen
Just for a moment
I want to feel the savoring
The favoring of me
I want to feel your lips on mine
Just like the first time
I want to feel the heat in your heart for me
I want to be your oxygen
Just for a moment
I want to feel that death defying
Life defining need
I want to be your oxygen
Just for a moment
But you are you are
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you’re drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children
Who think that they’ve got a disease
I wanna be cooler than TV
For all the kids
That are wonderin’ what they’re gonna be
We can be stronger than bombs if you’re singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry as long
as we know that there’s things that
We don’t really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
cause we speak in silence
Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality
Happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wanna live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you’re taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten America
Justice equality, freedom to every race
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Makeup and hair to the truth, behind every face
that look around to all the people you see
How many of them are happy and free
We can be richer than industry as long
as we know that there’s things that
We don’t really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
cause we speak in silence
Everytime our eyes meet
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew
If I’m afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I’ll float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words
I speak to carry a love to your relief
If I’m afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words
I speak to carry a love to your relief
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again
On and on and on it goes
The world just keeps on spinning
Until I ‘m dizzy time to breathe
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten america?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up an heir to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
If I'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I'll float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words I speak to carry love to your relief.
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
I'm movin' out of my mind
To a place more civilised
Where space elongates
Into your length and your stride
I'm shiftin' off my face
Can I trust you to blow my cover
I won't expect to make
The same mistakes
Oh. ah'
Oh. ah'
Oh. ah'
In and out of disguise
A foolish attempt to be more like minded
I'm trippin' over my tongue
To ebb into you once and for all
[Chorus]
Oxygen
Won't you fuel the flame and hold me over
I've become
Everything I wanted to remind you
That I was yours
From the very first moment we met
But I'm unsure
Of what you want anymore
We were speaking in thumbs over everyone
So loud but no one can hear us
Dissatisfied verbs feedin' the words
Suspended on life support
Kneelin' over this line
Over this line
Over this line
Just one more time'
Oxygen
Won't you fuel the flame and hold me over
I've become
Everything I wanted to remind you
That I was yours
From the very first moment we met
But I'm unsure
Of what you want
What do you want, oh!
[Instrumental]
So I'm movin' out of my mind
I'm movin' out of my mind
I'm movin' out of my mind
I'm movin' out of my mind
I'm movin' (out of my mind)
I'm movin' (out of my mind)
I'm movin' out of my mind
Stop playing Jesus, Judas disguised
I know you fake it all the time
One love to my love, one compromise
I know your blood tastes like wine
And if I breathe in for you, can your heart shine through?
The only pain is to feel none at all
And if we stay here tonight, under the moonlit sky
Will we breathe in or will our hearts just fade away?
Well, you take away my oxygen
Tonight we're loveless, help cries above
We try to forget our love
I let you down now, poisoned your lips
Will this be our last kiss?
And if I breathe in for you, can your heart shine through?
The only pain is to feel none at all
And if we stay here tonight, under the moonlit sky
Will we breathe in or will our hearts just fade away?
Well you take away my oxygen
And if I breathe in for you, can your heart shine through?
The only pain is to feel none at all
And if we stay here tonight, under the moonlit sky
Will we breathe in or will our hearts just fade away?
Heard the voice inside my headCirculates through every
vein
Take my hand and show me the way
Show me there's another day
I need oxygen to breathe
All the air I need to see
I need oxygen to feel
Set me free
Grab hold of me
Fire burns inside of me
Wandering through all eternity
Am I here or am I there?
Your love has become my air
Running, but I don't know where
Lost inside a forest maze
Someone help me
I'm alone
Let me out
I want to leave
I need oxygen to breathe
All the air I need to see
I need oxygen to feel
Set me free
Grab hold of me
Losing sense of where I am
Every breath so sacred
I'm afraid I'm here to die
I found a home alone in a world that left you out on your own but your
not the same when you were too tired to grow it's in the way i've seen
that you never know your still afraid of running all by yourself and as
you sit and breathe you feel the oxygen sink like a stone pray that god
will take you out of here but your still alone it's too late to bring
you out on your own but if you could see the way you breathe the oxygen
is all you have we'll find a way times inbetween us yeah but i'm here
to stay there's still a fate to meet us your not the same i felt the
earth fall deep and I'll never change i just stood without feeling all
by yourself and as you sink you float away when your lifes a pawn the
She is the lighthouse on my sea
I locked my heart, she found the key
She's what this feeling's supposed to be
She speaks the love that I'd believe
Oh, I don't ever make a move
Without her out there too
She's in the breath that I breathe
She's in my heart when it beats
She's my life and I take her in
Like oxygen
I've got her touch memorized
But I still get lost inside her eyes
When you know you know, it's no surprise
All that it took, her for me to realize
No I don't ever wanna be
Without her with me
She's in the breath that I breathe
She's in my heart when it beats
She's my life and I take her in
Like oxygen
The half that makes me whole
The reflection of my soul
She's in the breath that I breathe
She's in my heart when it beats
She's my life and I take her in
Crestfallen, broken...
A cold wounded heart
A pain left unspoken...
An empty soul but I played the part
Magic in the air suddenly you’re there
And you breath new life into me
Chorus
You are the only thing I need
You’ve become my oxygen
you’re all I breath
You came...gave new life to me
You’ve become my oxygen
you’re all I breath
I never knew what it felt like to live
Until you came into my life
and gave me all you had to give
I feel you deep inside
You make me come alive
And I want to live forever
Chorus
Come to me, come to me...
you’re all I breath
I want to live forever
I have something that I wanna share with you
I find it so hard to make the words explain
If there was one thing left I could embrace
It'd be your face, it'd be your grace
I take you in
Like...
Oxygen
You're the air I'm breathing
Oxygen
I breathe the Breath of Life
I am dreaming of flying through the air with you
I feel communion
Between the love that was and is and shall be
If there was one thing left I could embrace
It'd be your face, it'd be your grace
When it seems I'd drown in all my sin
I take you in... like oxygen
You're the one who touches me
Surrounding me
Then I breathe... life
You're the one who touches me
Surrounding me
Plan this journey to the end. The pressure is offensive.
Something caught inside, but nothing you could revive.
Scratch your name in fairy lights, in the letter of the law.
When you're so polite, it makes me move like Superfly.
No matter what you sell, I still buy it, I still buy it.
Your devastating eyes justifies it, justifies it.
No, no, no, I demand to stop!
Oxygen,
Travelling in oxygen,
Straight to the heart of it,
And then I forget everything I am breathing in.
Never had an eyewitness - nobody sees you floating through
Oxygen.
Plan this journey to the end.
Before, you were a friend;
Won't it come again?
I am your air, your life support
Under care of every breath you're making
Only here, where the signs appear
Do I fear that the bonds are breaking
Oxygen
The cornerstone in the pit of men
Mightier than the perfect pen
And on occasion assemble when you breathe
I'm in the cell, the molecule
I can tell when you're allocating
Heaven sent to your element
Monument to the innocent
My intent is to represent
Complement when all is dissipating
Oxygen
The cradle for every citizen
Regenerating the specimen
Head-lights, swirving cars, white man chasing ghosts, bleeding my heart,
City smog feels your eyes, let me catch the words that spill from your mind.
You're gonna be alright.
Cross my heart, hope to die, you're my oxygen, I'm alive,
Cross my heart, hope to die, you're my oxygen, I'm alive.
Say a prayer in your room for the friends that you once knew,
To that person that you wanna be.
Hold your breath (hold your breath) for the sun (for the sun),
But the clouds are all we've got, now it's better, just like before.
And it's nothing else more.
[Chorus]
Say a prayer for yourselves and a love that we leave behind,
Save that look while it lasts, coz it might not come again.
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
I wanna see through all the lies of society
To the reality, happiness is at stake
I wanna hold up my head with dignity
Proud of a life where to give means more than to take
I wan't to live beyond the modern mentality
Where paper is all that you're really taught to create
Do you remember the forgotten america?
Justice, equality, freedom to every race?
Just need to get past all the lies and hypocrisy
Make up an heir to the truth behind every face
That look around to all the people you see,
How many of them are happy and free?
I know it sounds like a dream
But it's the only thing that can get me to sleep at night
I know it's hard to believe
But it's easy to see that something here isn't right
I know the future looks dark
But it's there that the kids of today must carry the light.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
So close my eyes and start again anew.
If I'm afraid to catch a dream
I weave your baskets and I'll float them down the river stream
Each one I weave with words I speak to carry love to your relief.
I wanna be better than oxygen
So you can breathe when you're drowning and weak in the knees
I wanna speak louder than Ritalin
For all the children who think that they've got a disease
I wanna be cooler than t.v.
For all the kids that are wondering what they are going to be
We can be stronger than bombs
If you're singing along and you know that you really believe
We can be richer than industry
As long as we know that there's things that we don't really need
We can speak louder than ignorance
Cause we speak in silence every time our eyes meet.
On and on, and on, and on it goes
The world it just keeps spinning
Until I'm dizzy, time to breathe
Must wait for the moment you walk in.
Lift the pavements, spin a thousand carousels.
I can't hope any longer so you win.
You got dreams, but you keep 'em to yourself.
We can only break so much 'til what's 'left is not enough.
And I'd tell you all about it, but the oxygen keeps getting in my way and I can't bare the fight.
Well I'd rather live without it 'cause it kills me that you sleep when I'm awake.
Oh it's so clear that it's too late.
Now I'm right back at the point where we went wrong.
With these all familiar circles one again.
Well I'd rather be a mess than be alone.
Rather settle for what we have than dream of what we could've been
We can only take so much, till what's left is not enough
And I'd tell you all about it, but the oxygen keeps getting in my way and I can't bare the fight.
Well I'd rather live without it cause it kills me that you sleep when I'm awake.
Oh it's so clear that it's too late.
In this paralyzing silence, this breath we can't escape.
We've lost ourselves with nowhere left to run.
There's no comfort in the quiet, no together in the pain.
If I found a path to save us, would you come?
Wooohooohooohooo Wohohohoooho
Well I'd tell you all about it but the oxygen keeps getting in my way and I can't bare the fight.
I would rather live without it cause it kills me that you sleep when I'm awake.
Oh it's so clear that it's too late.
Must wait for the moment you walk in.
