Awake to You Lyrics

Cold

Cold black rains

Cold black rains

The sky bleeds

As if punctured

As if punctuated

By the need to bleed

Cold

Cold black rains

Cold black rains

Painting the earth, continuously

Unrelenting

As a child playing the piano

For the first time

For the first time

It's song playing methodically

With no end

No beginning

Eternal as the stars

It's always been painting

Cold

I'm so cold

Cold black rains

Filling my dreams with darkness

And I feel the ocean on top of me

Light beats inside me

Jumping around

Like a Mexican jumping bean

But the cold and the black

Are too heavy to lift alone

I lie

I lie to myself

Saying

I am warm

I am happy

I am home

And a shiver escapes

It runs away

from the deep, cold black

Raining up and away

From sea cemetery

From oceanic sleep

As if nightmares were chasing it

And it runs and it runs and it runs and it runs and it runs

To it's life

To it's happiness

To it's home

To

To

To

And I shake awake

Slowly

Slowly I see

As the night sparks of blue and orange fade

As the moonlight trickles away

As you breathe-out life

From our shared seabed of matrimony

I lie on my side

And awake to you
