R.E.M. : 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 in the cold

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

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, shudder to breathe
I want you to remember

(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

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 breath
I want you to remember

(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 want you to remember (I have seen things you will never see)
