The Sky Will Open

from Toluca Lake by Toluca Lake

lyrics

[Do not try to run. We will find you.
Do not try to hide. You cannot outsmart us.
The sky will open and we will come for you.]

You disregard the mists of the past
Our heart that wounds you, guided by your hand
Long awaited, overdue reunion
Oh, won't you join us for we hurt so much

We'll be so gentle. Don't you love us?
Won't you infest us? We want you now.
We don't know what all your sharpened words mean
and we know nothing of the songs you sing.

Tremble, your soul is but a leaf on a dying tree
and we are the fire determined to burn again.
The sky will open and we will come for you
We swear. We swear. I swear I won't hurt you.

These clouds contain all your tears.
I make it rain. Let's be clear, my dear:
You must know that you're struggling in vain.
You looked upon me and you said the word “trust”
I nearly felt my heart move beneath this rust.

Tremble, your soul is but a leaf on a dying tree
and I am the fire determined to burn again.
The sky will open and I will come for you
I swear. I swear. I swear I won't hurt you.

Wait as you close your eyes and weep. I am near.
Cradle your sweet life in your arms.
I come for you, desiring you
Desiring you alone.
Nothing can stop me.

He held his hands up to the sky, this fool.
Through bleeding eyes, the angels cry “How cruel.”

You think your passion can help me find my way?
Getting dirty for days, your naive eyes ablaze.
I squeeze your sympathy, make you bleed/hurt/gone.
My laughing stops. I stare.
Why do you hold on to me when I bring hell and lies
but you put me in a spell.
I see you stood by me but now you hold me close.
We kiss.
I froze.
You depart.
Rust torn askance by your last glance from my heart
