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 siddharta's temple no answer anywhere the minute you think you know got it is the minute you know it's gone for a good the second you pause his claws are on it the tiger inside will eat the child oh oh 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 falling sky i saw the last horizon the end of time the minute you think you know got it is the minute you know it's gone for a good the second you pause his claws are on it the tiger inside will eat the child 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
