Rachael Sage - My Eliza lyrics

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
