San Fermin - August

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, dawn
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
(You killed another one)
I can’t speak
(You killed another one, honey)
Oh I
(You killed another one)
I can’t breathe
(You killed another one, dawn)
When the voices come alive
(You killed another one)
In an August throb of light
(You killed another one honey)
I watch it die
