Stand a little closer, it's enough for me
You'll have me down on both knees
Begging you to swim this heavy tide with me
Trying, but it's highly unlikely

That you'd hold my hand
through the rocks and sands
Sometimes I look in the mirror and wonder
why don't you feel the same?

'Cause look into both my eyes
and you will see what I mean
It's no big deal, it's no surprise
They're awfully black, but they're real
Yes, they're awful and they're real
but behind my hologrammed fears
a century of silent nights sing through me
