Slow Burn

Slow burn,
A patient timekeeper that
stops you in your tracks
You don't want to fight it,
It seals all the cracks
It seems I'll never learn to keep something
for myself
I think, it's too late now

In the dark,
I wait for the warmth of your touch
under my skin
Waiting for adrenaline that's coursing through my veins
Help me dig up all that remains of something lost
In an ocean I can't cross

So you
You help me see the light
In all of the shadows and dark corners
You make me feel warmer inside

And there's something,
that I can't hide
I know that you can't conceal it either
It's floating in the ether
Inside of our minds

A vial of sand,
Silent metronome I hold
like my heartbeat in my hand
Only you can stop it
Change my whole life string by strand
I've been drifting into a swell that takes me down,
Deep into a dreamland

A lullaby,
Composed just for you about the stars in your eyes
The way you make me feel
as if I can touch the sky,
Run my fingers through the clouds
I know it's you that I see now

Because you
You help me see the light
In all of the shadows and dark corners
You make me feel warmer inside

And there's something,
that I can't hide
I know that you can't conceal it either
It's floating in the ether
Inside of our minds

Because you
You make me feel alive
When I'm scared of the cold water
You make me take that dive
When i'm rolling in my sleep
The demons don't arrive

Because you
You help me feel alive
When I'm scared of the cold water
You make me take that dive
When i'm rolling in my sleep
The demons don't arrive

Because you
You help me see the light
In all of the shadows and dark corners
You make me feel warmer inside

And there's something,
That I can't hide
I know that you can't conceal it either
It's floating in the ether
Inside of our minds

Slow burn,
A patient timekeeper that
stops you in your tracks
You don't want to fight it,
it seals all the cracks
It's seems I'll never learn to keep something for myself
I think, it's too late now
