Isn’t there something reaching out from the light?
Isn’t it the most serious way that we say our good nights?
And I’m losing my innocence through a shadow on your door,
And I’m losing my common sense through what’s been blazing dreams,
I’m watered down.
You said you wanted temptation back and I knew I did too,
It’s that all of these perfect thoughts don’t bring me closer to you.
And if I seem I’m in a pivotal form when you say we’re OK,
I really wanna believe you back, ‘cause we’re lovelier this way.
And my Rising said to me,
“Lion Child, you’re watered down.
You’re watered down.”
Isn’t it racing by with your heart on a stove?
Seemed to be the most critical place when all we wanted was more.
And I found my salvation back when eight legs shared those keys,
Lofted up on an ethereal high when the spider ran to my knees.
And my Rising said to me,
“Lion Child, you’re watered down.
You’re watered down.”
Isn’t there something reaching out from the light?
