Diary of a Silent Heart

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.
