R.E.M.



Automatic For The People



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, dont 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. Dont 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, dont 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 ou will never see)



I want you to remember.
