lyrics

The tigers tamed yet so am I
Breeding change leave the cage door swinging
oh just like a breath of sky
That we hold in our palms soon breathing
Giving birth to yourself aint so hard
Break the egg, come on out now
lets say my eyes were made of cloth
Silver string tied to, all Im seeing

Bark covers trees, Skull covers my mind
Roots and feet are planted oh so tight
Holes just get deeper when shovels are all you find

I am told to walk a line paper thin
Please fear sin and all its makings
Oh your god If he were a man he'd understand
To live in fear is why I'm aching

but a tigers eyes aren't tied to string nor are mine
