	This acoustic tune is currently featured on numerous internet stations. "Hey won't you give me a break man/I've lost all feeling/I'm tired of playing the cards/that you've been dealing/And I'm tired of hanging on the cross/for your religion/See your walls they're creeping in on me/your walls of mediocrity/how they smother me/how they choke me...so could you give me a room...to breathe in?"

	Story Behind the Song As with many songs, this song was inspired by a disatisfaction with the status quo. Anyone creative or trying to make a difference deals with feeling "smothered" by the opinions and deprecation of others. This song is a plea from those who are reaching out or up for something better to those whose mediocrity is oppressive. Thus, a room to breathe in. Boy, sometimes it is harder to describe your songs than to write them, eh? Thank you for listening. Lyrics A ROOM TO BREATHE IN (Copyright 1999 Tamara S. Sofi. All rights reserved.) VERSE Hey won't you give me a break man I've lost all feeling I'm tired of playing the cards That you've been dealing And I'm tired of hanging on the cross For your religion PRECHORUS See your walls they're creeping in on me Your walls of mediocrity How they smother me How they choke me CHORUS So could you give me A room to breathe in Where I can have things The way I like them Where I'm forgiven So could you give me A room to breathe in And could you let me Just hide away I just might come back and play someday VERSE Hey won't you give me A break man I've given all I can I see the beauty in this life I watch you crush it In your hands PRECHORUS See my feet bleed From the glass on your floor My mind won't clear your lies anymore And I've forgotten what it is to try CHORUS BRIDGE See your walls they're Creeping in on me Your walls of mediocrity How they smother me How they choke me CHORUS to end
