R. E. M. Try not to breathe.

Жиль Де Брюн: литературный дневник

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


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


Baby, don't shiver now
Why do you shiver?
I will see things
you will never see
I need something to fly
over my grave again
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 breathe
I want you to remember
I need something to fly
over my grave again
I need something to breathe
