[Chorus]
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown in the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we've both lived in
And bring me back to life

[Verse 1]
I promised I’d be devoid of devotion
Until a blinding light could thaw me from my core
Shining between the lips of lacerations
As we compare the way that we burn to the sun

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw yourself into the middle of my arms
And I swear I'll keep you safe
The scars that you keep secret were placed upon my limbs
And I would fill them in with my flesh if I could
I swear I'll keep you safe

[Chorus]
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown in the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we’ve both lived in
And bring me back to life
[Verse 2]
Pull the nameless arrow from my chest
And exchange it with your own
Replace the hurt within me with a stare that watches over me
When I allow myself to sleep

[Breakdown]
The scars that you keep secret were placed upon my limbs
And I would fill them in with my flesh if I could

[Bridge]
(So throw yourself into the middle of my arms
And I swear I'll keep you safe)

[Chorus]
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
For I no longer need to drown in the ocean of another
Tear the tears out of my open eyes
Above a buried garden we've both lived in
To bring me back to life
