The Tiger Inside Will Eat The Child

Wade in the rising water

Walk in the sinking sand

Crawl through the shadow valley

To try to understand



I climbed a Jacob's ladder

I fell down holy stairs

I found Siddartha's temple

No answer anywhere



The minute you think you know you got it

is the minute you know it's gone for good

The second you pause his claws are on it

The tiger inside will eat the child



Oh



I saw a hall of mirrors

I saw a burning wheel

I saw a rain of arrows

I lost the way to feel

I saw a million faces

Stare at a fallen sky

I saw the last horizon

The end of time



Chorus



Speaking in quiet whispers 

You hear it everywhere

It leaves as you're arriving

Arrives and you're still there



You drink, the cup is empty

You pour, the cup is full

You'll never get to hold it

It's always holding you

It's always holding you

It's always...
