That\'s the thing with your eyes
You see the truth and you forget the shadows
All the promises you\'ve ever made, fragmented splinters
Dreams and bottles spilling like the rain
Cheeks flushed on a cold night
Safe with him on dark nights, I pray for tender nights
I pray for broken nights
Tangled up in thorns and silk and rays of moonlight
Timeless in this sleepless snowdrift
I was waiting for you, holding the tears back
Waiting there, looking out at the lake and waiting
An ever changing face slips by and I know it\'s you
Haunting these bloodless waters, I\'ve cried for you
Shimmering gold midnight in jewels
This is where the story ends, a new chapter begins
In the sky there\'s a prophet calling my name
The lines on my palms are pointing towards change
The last wave, I adore you like the rain
Flowing through this empty house, all my worries perished
In the perfect moment, nonchalant when there\'s peril
I have no concept of time, singing lyrics that were never a song
Loving you like a deserted poem
This music drips through my veins like bad insomnia
Wished godspeed but I feel hopeless
All these self-critical years under your wing
In a world with no light
No semblance to the paradigm I am
Drowning in muddy waters, looking for clear rivers
Something new just to pass the time
I want to be a hyacinth boy
To see the world through a new mind, new eyes
New arms for a rebirth
I\'m done with being seventeen, obsessing over lines
Times were never healing
You say words but they have no meaning
Just a thoughtless pretence
I can see through
The gentle celestial cry for tomorrow, new pages
Waiting only for you.
