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 foldI 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, ohI need something to fly over my grave again
I need something to breatheI 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 eyesI will try not to worry you
I have seen things that you will never see
Leave it to memory me
I shudder to breatheI 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, ohI 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
