A Wall

From inside his mouth I lick the blood
While he's roaring and biting
I wash off the mud
Cause the tempest is out to wrestle a while
Stop charging, my darling
Get closer, be quiet
Cause where you see a wall
I see a door
Set out with no map
And turn off your torch
Where you see a wall
I see a door
You'll get through
You'll be home
You'll be home
From inside his mouth
I lick the scars
In the woodland, the leaves
Are marking a path
And if you'd just rest your head
Stop repeating the charge
You know that this time
Will turn all the locks
Cause where you see a wall
I see a door
Set out with no map
and turn off your torch
Where you see a wall
I see a door
You'll get through
You'll be home
You'll be home
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
Just sit still, does it hurt? Does it hurt?
