I found a fire in your shadow
I know you are born to be wild
In your years you’ve been alone too
Hidin’ from the monsters in your head
Sugar in a bowl on your coffee table
Animals that sleep on your dinin’ room floor in your house
You are still waitin’ for life to pass by one second at a time
Your freckles are gone and now your face is
White as the walls surroundin’ you
Coffee keeps you up for hours
TV tucks you in at night
A picture on the wall, of a friend you used to know
The smell of the coffee sitting on the stove, in your house
You are still waitin’ for life to pass by one second at a time
Sugar in a bowl on your coffee table
Animals that sleep on your dinin’ room floor, in your house
You are still waitin’ for life to pass by one second at a time

Backyard
I live a life of love Hold me down Hold me down I live the life of letting go Under a starlit night I wrap myself in thin sheet of ice Up there, the stars are …
Barefoot In Snow
You tell me a secret, I’m telling no soul All this pain in your pocket is heavy to hold I wish you were patient enough with yourself But it’s dark in the hole …
Beneath My Bed
A lion’s head beneath my bed All these things that I once had A tiger’s paw that holds me down Keeps me safe from what’s around Keeps me safe from what’s …
