Oh, mother iris
Please send me home
Tilt my head back, and pour the water down my throat
Oh, mother iris
How heavy are my eyelids
Take us to our headstone
Scarlet eyes peer through this thin veneer
They yearn to see ourselves through this veil so clear
Relax your eyes
The moments scream past
Feel it come on
They may frighten to the core
Embrace our day, but trust they will pass
For soon you'll be gone
You've always been here before
Scarlet eyes peer through this thin veneer
They yearn to see ourselves through this veil so clear
