Lyrics
I'm the blade, you're a knife
I'm the weight, you're the kite
They were right when they said
We were breathing underwater
Out of place all the time
In a world that wasn't mine to take;
I'll wait

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

I'm a blade, you're the knife
I'm a weight, you're the kite
They were right when they said
We should never meet our heroes
When they bowed at their feet
In the end it wasn't me

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Nights are days
We beat a path through the mirrored maze
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn't happened yet
I can see the end
Ahhh
But it hasn't happened yet

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Is this my life?
Ahhh
Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?

Am I breathing underwater?

And suddenly I must watch ALL THE HOMELAND, because this is completely fantastic and *HANDS* I love it!

[anoel]

Yay!! You really really should :)

[alba17]

Thanks so much! You definitely should watch Homeland. It's one of the best shows around.

This is a great vid! I loved the build of the main characters' developing relationship as well as their individual stories. It was tough to watch (in a good way), and very well-done. I also liked the contrast between the sound of the song and the footage -- it was unexpected but worked really well.

[alba17]

Thank you! I'm so glad you liked it. I'm glad all that came through. I'm just curious, what did you find unexpected about the contrast between the song and the footage?

This was so intense and complex and had such a strong build and momentum.

This was really great! I loved how you showed Carrie and Brody's struggles as individuals, contrasted with their time together.
