Bright eyed, coy, you stir me up
The tremble in my hand makes for an abrasive touch
The highlight reel while I fall
I’m never what you thought I could be
While you sleep, I’m caught up, will you leave the lights on?
All the good let in that I take for granted
Spit enough out to cast a softer shadow
You don’t mind the mess, you float quick, in control
When my body only wants me to slow down
When it hurts to just be present you’re around
Though my dark is trite, persistent, you’re still down
Lights on, I wanna feel
Bring a cool wind when I'm floating down a river of feeling
You don’t need me to bleed in your soft satin sheets
I make a mess of your masterpiece
When my body only wants me to slow down
When it hurts to just be present you’re around
Soak it all through the afternoon
When everything at once rears its head on through
So dark and brooding finds your harsh light soothing
Singing love is somewhere out there
In a bright space, where we’re sheltered
When my body only wants me to slow down
You’re a cool wind when I’m floating down a river of feeling
You don’t need me to bleed in your soft satin sheets
Will I make a mess of your master piece?
When my body only wants me to slow down
When it hurts to just be present you’re around
Though my dark is trite, persistent, you’re still down
A sick dream you can’t leave
Lights on; I wanna feel
Not wonder, god, was it real?
