Tiger Eyes

from a long goodnight by Dover Cloudbank

/

lyrics

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
