Eyelids Closing Shut Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matthew Howl, Crystal Joilena]
Oceans swim away from us
And call for the sirens we can't hear
Caught in the space between migrating sounds
As we're picking up speed

[Pre-Chorus 1: Matthew Howl, Crystal Joilena, Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
And we dance in a spiral
Waiting to finally fall
Spin in place, spin in place
Pulling forward
Hold your breath
Focus your eyes
Still your heart
And it all melts together, together, together

[Chorus 1: Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
When the planets disappear
Broken from the universe
We have otherworldly dreams
But we have no other world

And you ask what could have been
When it's been here all this time
With our eyelids closing shut
I've got nowhere
I've got nowhere left to hide

[Verse 2: Matthew Howl, Crystal Joilena]
Preyed on by the distance we can't cross
But don't pray for it to clear
We want to lose ourselves outside of time
Want to see what's beyond here

[Pre-Chorus 2: Matthew Howl, Crystal Joilena, Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
Made up words under your tongue
Building walls spoken to life Caving in, caving in, caving in
[Chorus 2: Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
We're all connected like strings
As we try to cut them off
The vibrations of all things
Amplify the voice we've lost

And you ask what could have been
When it's been here all this time
With our eyelids closing shut
I've got nowhere
I've got nowhere left to hide

[Pre-Chorus 1: Matthew Howl]
And we dance in a spiral
Waiting to finally fall
Spin in place, spin in place
Pulling forward

Hold your breath
Focus your eyes
Still your heart
And it all melts together, together, together

[Bridge: Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
I just want to heal
Is it too late?
I always move so slow
Just want to live
Am I too late?
I always move too slow
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus 1: Matthew Howl, Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
And you ask what could have been
When it's been here all this time
With our eyelids closing shut
I've got nothing
I've got nothing left to hide

[Outro: Matthew Howl & Crystal Joilena]
We've got nothing
There's no need for us to hide
