And now it's so hard   To say things aloud   When you can't hear or feel   What you're screaming.   And I guess I've given up.   It's not so good.   And I guess I can't eat now.   My thoughts are all about breaking.   These Virginia days that seemed like years.   Yeah, shes good to me   When I've got my eyes closed.   They don't feel good.   When I'm choking or drowning   On these tears that I can't cry.   They stay inside   To let me know that I'm alive.   I'm barely breathing.   So won't you sing something   Pretty to me?
