lyrics

I'll never hold you
I shake with a terror every night
Waiting forever
Waiting for when the feeling's right

If it's a matter of a purity of heart
I've cut my own in two to measure out the art

Oh, for the blossom,
For uncontrollable delight,
I cried a mountain
In anticipation of the sight

Everywhere I looked I saw the gleaming in their eyes
Above, a gallery was draped across the skies

It's real, the way it holds me like an infant child
Real, the taste of honey from the meek and mild
Held my head inside the lions mouth and never thought about:
I'm either conquered or I'm bound to be

Everywhere I looked, I saw the gleaming in their eyes
Above, a gallery was draped across the skies

I'll never hold you
I shake with the terror every night
Waiting forever
Waiting for when the feeling's right

If it's a matter of a purity of heart,
I've cut my own in two to measure out the art

It's real, the way it holds me like an infant child
Real, the taste of honey from the meek and mild
Held my head inside the lions mouth and never thought about:
I'm either conquered or I'm bound to be
