Tiger Eyes

You say you’ve got this whole thing all figured out
You say it doesn’t matter anyway
You turn away
But I can see you stumbling through your darkest hour
That’s where you hide
Those silent cries still echo through your tiger eyes
I see the scars inside your eyes, your wrists, your heart
You say it’s all part of becoming who we are
Your tears come crashing over me just like a tidal wave
The perfect pain
The world you’re desperate to escape
Hope can leave a long goodnight
I will be your lullaby
There’s a war ensuing underneath your skin
All those fears and passions fighting deep within
But I can always see you
I can see right through those empty means
Your feelings bursting at the seams
I want to see your scars turn to stars
All that fire could be the light of who we are
I want to see those stars come to life
Inside your tiger eyes
Hope can leave a long goodnight
I will keep you safe tonight
Hope can leave a long goodnight
Inside your tiger eyes

Effortlessly

I’m still waiting for the fog to clear
Counting seconds we’re awake
Through the window the world disappears
‘til only you remain
If only I could breathe
A little more effortlessly
Stay beside me while all else fades away
You wrap your arms around my chest
Our frozen whispers meet the warmth of your face
My senses all relent…
If only I could breathe
A little more effortlessly
As I watch your eyes outshine a thousand stars
And all I want to do
Is stay here in this moment with you
As we finally find out who we really are
Don’t let the world figure you out
They just don’t understand
We’ll let the fog surround us now
So stay down
Hold out
We’ll do this hand in hand…

You burn in me
The light is growing dim
The passions change
They rearrange
Like shadows on display
Will you burn again?
Be my candle if this fire in me begins to fade…
You burn in me melting everything that I can't keep
Eternity is finally within reach
So the tide rolls in
You’ll find me now
I’m six feet down
Beneath your kingdom come
Would you sing again
I just want to drown inside your voice, your song, your hum…
(chorus)
Would you take all these pieces
And could you turn them into something more?
Something to adore
Would you take this anxious heart
So fragile, so delicate
And trade this fear for desire?
Would you take this burning heart
So tactile, so passionate
Your elegance is all the grace I need to feel alive
You set me on fire…
You burn in me melting everything that I can't keep
So run with me
Let's build our own eternity

Lullaby

|
Would you fall into me now?
Let your breath and mine collide
Do you hear that precious sound
Saying we could own this night?
You are my haunting lullaby
So echo now until I figure you out
And we’ll sing by candlelight
As the stars begin to fall
Can I see what makes you cry?
So you’re human after all…
