I will try not to breathe
i can hold my head still with my hands at my knees
these eyes are the eyes of the old, shiver and fold
I will try not to breathe
this decision is mine. i have lived a full life
and these are the eyes that i want you to remember, oh
I need something to fly over my grave again
i need something to breathe
I will try not to burden you
i can hold these inside. i will hold my breath
until all these shivers subside,
just look in my eyes
I will try not to worry you
i have seen things that you will never see
leave it to memory me. i shudder to breathe
I want you to remember, oh (you will never see)
i need something to fly (something to fly)
over my grave again (you will never see)
i need something to breathe (something to breathe)
baby, don't shiver now
why do you shiver? (i will see things you will never see)
i need something to fly (something to fly)
over my grave again. (i will see things you will never see)
i need something to breathe, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh
I will try not to worry you
i have seen things that you will never see
leave it to memory me. don't dare me to breathe
i want you to remember, oh (you will never see)
i need something to fly (something to fly)
over my grave again (you will never see)
i need something to breathe (something to breathe)
baby, don't shiver now
why do you shiver now? (i will see things you will never see)
i need something to breathe (something to breathe - i have seen things you will never see)
i want you to remember
