The Arms Of "i"

lyrics

THE ARMS OF “i”

without the spin we won't begin to peel the curtain back
and i can hear the beating of your heart storm, firefly
fall into the arms of i

a thousand pardons for my face
i didn't mean to leave a trace of all the things we were denied
i told them, hold your breath it's about to get wild

parasites playing hardball - is it divine?
i got a hunch that they're gonna punch a hole in the sky
what bunch of hooey - i divide my time between these
moments that i know are mine

and all those shadows in my soul, sometimes they take control
and i can't tell the difference til it's too late, fool
a mask is so much more than a face

paradise on the hard line
pick up and go to the end just to pick it up and do it again
i'm an open book if you can read
so take your time and tread light around these moments of mine

i want to tell you how deep i am
but the words keep coming like a murder-field of crows
i caught the eye of the lie and i fell into the arms of i

oh, you can't escape the moment
when you go down the boulevard of sins and shadows
they're real so like a butterfly right here is home

oh, you can't escape the lightness of your soul
so brighten up those corners and windows
they're open wide to everyone you've ever known

oh, you can't escape the madness
oh no, you can't escape the madness..
