Carbon - Lyrics by Tori Amos


Lyrics
Carbon made
Found her at the
End of a chain
Time to race she said
Race the downhill
Behind crystaline irises
Loons can dive
Where the world bleeds white
Just keep your eyes on her
Keep don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
Bear claw
Free fall
A gunner's view
Black and blue
Shred in ribbons
Of lithium
Blow by blow
Her mind cut
In sheets
Layers deep
Now unravelling
Just keep your eyes on her
Keep don't look away
Keep your eyes on her horizon
Get me neil on the line
No I can't hold
Have him read
Snow glass apples
Where nothing is what it seems
Little sis you must crack this
He says to me
You must go in again
Carbon made
Only wants to be unmade
Blade to ice
It's double diamond time
And keep your eyes on her...
On her eyes
On her horizon
