Try Not to Breathe

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 now?		 (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.



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.
