It came to me as we were listening

To each other's stories

That I was really listening

To myself talk back to me

I always wished I'd had a sister

Who could also be a friend

Unafraid to secrets completely

Unafraid to secrets completely

I was the younger of the two of us

No stranger to her anger

Reach out to grab my innocence

So afraid of what I'd seen

And I saw the smoke behind the mirrors

Where the minotaur was feeding

With a woman's appetite for smashing the serene

There'll be no down-pour in this desert

There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child

There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in

While my Eliza is still wild

Where does all the time go when you look life in the eyes

Witches come from all around to comfort and to hypnotize

The angel's as if all our fighting was for naught

And I can't imagine anything as promising as that

Oh no I can't imagine anything as promising as that

There'll be no down-pour in this desert

There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child

There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in

While my Eliza is still wild

Sleep Eliza may you rest as sweetly as my love

Let the water fill you up

And drown in the future you'll have

Dream of everything you're going to

Become once you're well

Call upon the tradition of waking from a spell

Waking from a spell

People can be easier to love in retrospect

I am bound to you in blood

And secondly in so much respect

You are so much braver than I'll ever hope to be

But I am stronger than you know so you can speak to me

There'll be no down-pour in this desert

There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child

There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in

While my Eliza my Eliza is still wild

My Eliza my Eliza is still wild

While my Eliza my Eliza is still wild

My Eliza is still wild
