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 thingsOh 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 dieI 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 anythingOh 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 dieYou 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 oneOh 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
