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 k**ed another one
You k**ed another one, honey
You k**ed another one
You k**ed another one, Don
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
