    I Got Shit!!!


    Breath is nice and all, but its so dated.. and the lyrics are cheesier.. I Got Shit is deeper.

    This really is no contest..

    "If I knew where it was.. I would take you there" ...Oh, come on. Might as well have been written by Creed.

    "My lips are shakin
    My nails are bit off
    Its been a month since Ive heard myself talk
    All the advantage this life's got on me
    Picture a cup in the middle of the sea"

    "On empty shells seem so easy to crack
    Got all these questions
    Dont know who I could even ask
    So Ill just lie down and wait for the dream
    Where Im not ugly and youre lookin at me

    And Ill stay in bed...
    Oh, little Ive seen there
    If just once I could be loved...
    oh, stare back at me. Yeah."

    The difference between I Got Shit and Breath is.. I Got Shit is brilliant poetry!

    I Got Shit is light years better!

    This really should be a no brainer but Breath will likely get more praise because it came first. I Got Shit is clearly the better song though.

    I love both songs but "I got shit" wins by a landslide. Beautiful musical arrangement and lyrics.

    i don't think breath's lyrics are cheesy as some said! breath is an amazing song, and to here it live would be epic, but when it reaally comes down to it i'd definitely said i got shit. i got shit is one of pj's very best songs. there is just something about it that makes it so amazing.

    Breath...by a long way.

    I find I Got Shit a bit of a non-entity of a song really, it's okay but it's no Breath that's for sure
