Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light I watch it die Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light I watch it die Close your eyes, turn out the light Hide beneath the bed at night To be alone with you, to be the one you whisper to I picture terrible things Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light I watch it die I can keep a secret We can lie beneath it Down past the broken trees, in the dark on hands and knees There is a hammock in the moss Eye to eye and so close I'm dividing your skull And in a little pool, scoop out love with garden tools You never believe anything Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light I watch it die You killed another one You killed another one, honey You killed another one You killed another one, Don You killed another one You killed another one, honey You killed another one Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light Oh I I can't speak Oh I I can't breathe When the voices come alive In an August throb of light I watch it die
