11:11 Lyrics

I have eyes

I have eyes

But do I look

Or am I looked at

Chose to see

Chose to see

Or was it chosen

For me

I was given a road

Well-worn

I was given feet

That knew

Two kinds of dark —

The one outside

And the one

I choose to walk through

Chose to see

Chose to see

Or was it chosen

For me

Having eyes

Is not

Looking

Knowing the light

Will not

Find it

If you fold

Your hands

I keep

Mine

Open

Awake

Awa-ake

Or merely

Told

I choose

To look

Before

I'm old

Two strangers

Two doors

A word from each

Before we knew

We reach

We miss

We almost fall

The key is warm

It doesn't fit

Slowly

We circle

What we almost are

Slowly

We circle

Two small planets

Warming each other's dark

A laugh too soon

A look too long

We learn the shape

We don't belong

Yet stay

Slowly

We circle

What we almost are

Slowly

We circle

Two small planets

Warming each other's dark

No map

Only the pull

Two hands learning

Where the other goes

The gap between us

Is the room we grow

And then —

The not-quite-touch

Finds it

The pocket

The pocket

Locks

Warm

Arms

Breathe

Pain in

Light out

In

Out

Current

All she wanted was arms

I had this body

I held it open

Still I left it for her

Stand

Warm

H-o-l-d me

You move like rain on stone

Cold skin, warm hands

I feel you near

Then you're gone again

Hold me a second

Don't let it fade

One small touch

And I'm awake

Stay with me

Stay with me

Let the night breathe slow

Stay with me

Stay with me

Till the feeling knows

Your name in my mouth

Soft and low

I trace the silence

Where you go

Hold me a second

Don't let it fade

One small touch

And I'm awake

Stay with me

Stay with me

Let the night breathe slow

Stay with me

Stay with me

Till the feeling knows

If you fall away

I'll still feel you

In my bones

In my bones

Stay with me

Stay with me

Let the night breathe slow

Stay with me

Stay with me

Till the feeling knows

Same orbit

Same hunger

Taste the salt

On the skin of another day

Same orbit

Same sleep

Breathe the dust

Of the man I used to be

Circle the flame

Circle the flame

Close enough to feel

Far enough to stay

I was split

I was doubled over

Two hands reaching

One for the weather

Circle the flame

Circle the flame

Close enough to feel

Far enough to stay

The middle opens

The moon lets go

I am not the fire

I am what it grows

Circle

Circle

Circle the flame

Never burn

Stay

Built the room

For every hand

Glass gone from the window

Fed the whole street

Hollowed out

Hollowed out

The chair made to hold me

Stayed for no one

Down in the room I built

Down where the dust won't lift

Down, down, down

The chair was always mine

Cut the wire

Hear it cough

The ache ain't the dying

It's the no that learns to take

Down... down... down

Down in the room I built

Down where the dust won't lift

Down, down, down

The chair was always mine

Wake the dust

Sit the chair

Down... down... down

Turn the key

It how-ow-owls

The lock was always

On the side I keep

Down in the room I built

Down where the dust won't lift

Down, down, down

The chair was always mine

Wake the dust

Sit the chair

If the room was mine

Then I'm already there

Always mine

Always mine

Honey on the hinge

Slow, so slow

Peach and perspiration

Sweet, too sweet

Come a little closer

Let the sweetness come

Come a little closer

Too sweet, too sweet

Salt on the slip

Low, lower

Dip it in the drip

Sweet, too sweet

Come a little closer

Let the sweetness come

Come a little closer

Too sweet, too sweet

sweet... too sweet

come... come

You taste the tide

I hold the heat

Slow, slower

Sweet, too sweet

Come a little closer

Let the sweetness come

Come a little closer

Too sweet, too sweet

Too Sweet

Too Sweet

Come.

Salt on the swell

Steam off the skin

Wade in slow

Wide and warm

Come on in

The water's warm

Come on in

Wade in slow

Tide pulling, taut

Skin to the current

Sway and shimmer

Sink into the salt

Come on in

The water's warm

Come on in

Wade in slow

salt... soft

come... come on in

Two in the undertow

Breath held long

We stay under

'Til we're carried home

Come on in

The water's warm

Come on in

Wade in slow

Wade in slow

Wade in slow

Warm.

Your hand on my neck

Like a question mark

Cold glass on the floor

And the room goes dark

I keep my breath low

I keep my eyes on you

We move like a storm

That forgot the rules

Pull me under slow

Let the panic glow

My heart hits the wall

Then it starts to fold

One more honest look

One more loaded line

We were built for this

At the edge of time

Under black water

Pull me in closer

Under black water

I can't let go now

Under black water

We burn like thunder

Under black water

You turn me to gold

Your name in my mouth

Like a red-lit prayer

Shiver in the skin

When you're standing there

The floor keeps turning

But I stay in place

Watching your shadow

Draw a line through haze

Pull me under slow

Let the panic glow

My heart hits the wall

Then it starts to fold

One more honest look

One more loaded line

We were built for this

At the edge of time

Under black water

Pull me in closer

Under black water

I can't let go now

Under black water

We burn like thunder

Under black water

You turn me to gold

If the night breaks open

Let it break on us

If the dark comes calling

We don't back up

I found my way

In the wreck you made

Now the smoke lifts high

And I don't cave

Under black water

Pull me in closer

Under black water

I can't let go now

Under black water

We burn like thunder

Under black water

You turn me to gold

They come for the heat

They take it by hand

They feed from the trance

And they leave you the cold

They drink the fire

And call it their own

They count the emers

While I hold the stone

Pull the light out

Pull it away

Take what's burning

If you can stay

I gave them the axis

They carved it with teeth

I kept the center

They kept the grief

It moved through the hours

It slipped through the leak

I learned the exact

Theoreo of the weak

Pull the light out

Pull it away

Take what's burning

Take what you will

But I am the wick

I am the wire

I drink the current

Where you drew the wire

Every hand that reached

Has fed me more

Every stilled, every source

Becomes my roar

You take the flame

I keep the fire

You take the flash

I keep the wire

Circle the light

Round and around

The fuel is the fuel

And I hold the pound

One mirror

Two of me

The face they frame

The face I keep

They raise the marble

I hold the hand

One on the pedestal

One in the crowd

Two of me

Two of me

Yeah I hold both

Two of me

Two of me

Don't make me choose

Two of me

Two of me

Every mirror's two of me

Two of me

Two of me

Both of me real

They count the wins

I count the cracks

They draw the portrait

I wear the torn

Two of me

Two of me

Yeah I hold both

Two of me

Two of me

Don't make me choose

Two of me

Two of me

Every mirror's two of me

Two of me

Two of me

Both of me real

One holds the crown

One holds the hurt

Both of them —

Mine

Same ground

Same ground

We all carry two of us

Two of me

Two of me

Don't make me choose

(Don't make me choose)

Two of me

Two of me

Every mirror's two of me

Every mirror

Two of me

Two of me

Same ground

One mirror

Two of me

And both are real

Watching the watch

Watch me

Watching the watch

Watch me

The hand

It keeps my days

It holds

The same green frame

It measures

What I spent

Doesn't know

Where the time went

WAtching the watch

Watch me

Forgetting the time

Time used to be

WAtching the watch

Watch me

Hold on

To what's forgetting me

I give it the years

It gives them away

All that I built

Now a memory

The wheel

It still turns

But it's ticking

To no place

WAtching the watch

Watch me

Forgetting the time

Time used to be

WAtching the watch

Watch me

Hold on

To what's forgetting me

The measure of all

The circle I kept

Is watching me watch

While the time left

Loose the hand

Let the hours go

The watch I carry

Is letting it go

Watching the watch

Watch me

Watching

Watch

Me
