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, lost the page

I lost it all inside a memory 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 caught 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

Left 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 I couldn't help but stare



I caught myself before I dropped the day, lost the page

I lost everything, memories that had 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
