English Legacy: Try Not To Breathe (Chapter 18)

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.

You're really gonna let him die? *borrows Angelia patented chibi eyes*

(What song is that? Because it really tugs on the heartstrings with this whole drawn out death scene you're giving sim-you.)

Poor Laurel. *sniffles* It broke my heart watching Christopher cry like that at Brynn's grave, with the heartbroken symbol over his head the whole time. :-(

Oh, now that was just playing dirty, showing her sleeping in that big bed all alone! *pokes Brian* Poor woman. I hope her family is able to give her some comfort though.

Aero: Let him die? I didn't think I had any choice. Heck, I wasn't even expecting him to die at only 92 days old.

The song is named.... Try Not To Breathe, from R.E.M. It's on the Automatic For the People album.
