Lyrics
IVY
BEEN MANY TIMES I WANTED OUT,
MY SPIRIT BROKEN, WASHED AWAY.
BUT NOW AS EVERY RAY OF SUNSHINE FALLS,
I SEE YOUR FACE AND KNOW ITS FATE I STAY.
MENTAL TERRORISM TRIES TO BREAK ME DOWN,
EVEN IN THIS SHORTEST TIME.
SEARCHING INWARD FOR MY RHYME & REASON,
SHAKING OFF MY GHOSTS WITHIN.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES, A LONGING FOR A LOVE TO HOLD. I SEE SOMETHING IN YOUR SMILE, GIVES ME SHELTER, SHELTER FROM THE STORM.
FUTURE OVERSHADOWS PAST,
AS MY LIPS ENTWINE WITH YOURS,
AND THE IVY WRAPPED AROUND MY HEART,
WILL STRANGLE ME NO MORE.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES, A LONGING FOR A LOVE TO HOLD. I SEE SOMETHING IN YOUR SMILE, GIVES ME SHELTER, SHELTER FROM THE STORM. READING IN BETWEEN YOUR LINES, TO THE SOUL THAT LIES BENEATH. OVER SHATTERED HEART AND BROKEN GLASS, MY FEAR LEARNS TO CONFORM.
IN THE OF WAKE OF ALL MY HISTORY,
IN THE FOREFRONT OF MY DREAMS,
SILENT NOW, THE SCREAMS AND IN-BETWEENS.
THERE'S SOMETHING IN YOUR EYES, A LONGING FOR A LOVE TO HOLD. I SEE SOMETHING IN YOUR SMILE, GIVES ME SHELTER, SHELTER FROM THE STORM. READING IN BETWEEN YOUR LINES, TO THE SOUL THAT LIES BENEATH. OVER SHATTERED HEART AND BROKEN GLASS, MY FEAR LEARNS TO CONFORM.
TEAR DOWN THE IVY...THE IVY.
