As Silence Steeps

Lyrics

Eyes wide open, as silence steeps
My heartbeat slowing, as we fall asleep

Two steps in, the floor is gone
Sky unfolds, soft and slow
Stars and clouds, a spinning show
Limbs unstrung, I drift and fall
No cry, no shout, no sound at all

Lost in dreaming, I'm in deep
Is that your hand? Am I asleep?
Eyes wide open, I can't speak

Slipped through a wooden door
Down halls I've never seen before
I see your face, my fears erased

Your breath is lavender, soaked in wine
Your fingers trace the lines in mine
Curtains swell like open sea, on you and me

Eyes wide open, as silence steeps
I feel her heartbeat, as she sleeps
Eyes wide open, I can't speak
