Spirals

You waited a long long time
Hiding the thorns inside
Acting strong
Feeling like a stranger
Lately those eyes have changed
Pictures in broken frames
Heavy bones
Roaming on your own
Tired of making sense
Tired of shaking hands
Take it slow
Try to move along
I know your heart is on fire
Don’t let the black dogs follow you down
Been spinning the world upon your back
You circle round and round
When the feeling is gone
The hours are long
The beauty of the yearning makes you sad
Follow the dark moon
Follow the northern lights
Into the violet night
Hazy soul
Covered up in snow
Learning to see things break
Learning to make mistakes
Open scars
Sparkle in the dark
I know your heart is on fire
Don’t let the black dogs follow you down
Been spinning the world upon your back
You circle round and round
When the feeling is gone
And the hours are long
The beauty of the yearning makes you sad
Follow the dark moon
Burn with a frozen flame
Watching the morning trains
If gravity makes no sense
Call me and call your friends
I know your heart is on fire
Don’t let the black dogs follow you down
Been spinning the world upon your back
You circle round and round
If the feeling is gone
The hours are long
Spinning the world upon your back
You circle round and round
The feeling is gone
The hours are long
The beauty of the yearning makes you sad
Follow the dark moon
