Six a.m. stumbled through the freeze and into bed
Caught me sleeping with a past I thought I'd left for dead
Snowed me underneath a continent, a powder keg
That lit the sun a winter red
Felt the wind lick like a whisper over hands and hair
Felt the cold drop like a ball and hit the bottom stair
Will you give me eyes that see the things that no one knows are there
If I promise not to stare?
I caught myself before I dropped the day, and lost the page
Lost everything in memories that'd never been
I looked for someplace I could lay away, stay away
Someplace warm where when you die you live again
In a click I heard the breath of ice and locked the door
Felt the rush and hit the deck and took a new shape on the floor
Rolled my soul into a ball with fear inside the core
Someone somewhere nevermore
Pieces of archangel floating on the morning air
Caught me looking, man, you couldn't understand if you weren't there
I got eyes and started seeing things you don't see anywhere
And you know I had to stare
I caught myself before I dropped the day, and lost the page
Lost everything to memories that'd never been
I looked for someplace I could lay away, stay away
Someplace warm where when you die you live again
Christ, it left me just as quick as it had come to me
Swung over me in darkness like a hammer, like belief
Give me eyes so I can see the things that no one else can see
I want to see what you can see
I want to see what you can see
