It came to me as we were listening to each other's stories
That I was really listening to myself talk back to me
I always wished I'd had a sister who could also be a friend
Unafraid to share secrets completely
Unafraid to share secrets completely
I was the younger of the two of us, no stranger to her anger
Reaching out to grab my innocence, so afraid of what I'd seen
And I saw the smoke behind the mirrors, where a minotaur was feeding
When a woman's appetite for smashing the serene
There'll be no downpour in this desert
There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child
There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in
While my Eliza is still wild
Where does all the time go when you look life in the eyes
Witches come from all around to comfort and to hypnotize
The angel's sleeping as if all our fighting was for naught
And I can't imagine anything as promising as that
Oh no, I can't imagine anything as promising as that
There'll be no downpour in this desert
There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child
There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in
While my Eliza is still wild
Sleep Eliza, may you rest sweetly as my love
Let the water fill you up, and drown you in the future you'll have
Dream of everything you're going to become once you're all well
Carry on the tradition of waking from a spell
Waking from a spell
People can be easier to love in retrospect
I am bound to you in blood, and secondly in so much respect
You are so much braver than I'll ever hope to be
But I am stronger than you know, so you can speak to me
There'll be no downpour in this desert
There'll be no sweet candy to calm this child
There'll be no jungle-gym to entertain the state I'm in
While my Eliza, my Eliza, is still wild
My Eliza, my Eliza, is still wild
My Eliza is still wild
(It came to me as we were listening to each other's stories)
My Eliza is still wild
