The Tiger Inside Will Eat The Child
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Wade in the rising water
Walk in the sinking sand
Crawl through the shadow valley
To try to understand
I climbed a jacob's ladder
I fell down holy stairs
I found siddartha's temple
No answer anywhere
The minute you think you know you got it
Is the minute you know it's gone for good
The second you pause his claws are on it
The tiger inside will eat the child
Oh
I saw a hall of mirrors
I saw a burning wheel
I saw a rain of arrows
I lost the way to feel
I saw a million faces
Stare at a fallen sky
I saw the last horizon
The end of time
Speaking in quiet whispers
You hear it everywhere
It leaves as you're arriving
Arrives and you're still there
You drink, the cup is empty
You pour, the cup is full
You'll never get to hold it
It's always holding you
It's always holding you
It's always...
