lyrics

Peeling your eyes back from the scene
We all return the way we came
In a fire when we break
In a moment we escape
With an empty hand we’re letting on

It’s cold enough under different skin
You’ll never find what you’re living in
The question answered without a sound
Your fractured bones and your body found
We would be better off alone

Touching so delicate your face
Trusting in ritual and shape
In a child we embrace
Our existence and our faith
With an empty hand we’re letting on

It’s cold enough under different skin
You’ll never find what you’re living in
The question answered without a sound
Your fractured bones and your body found
We would be better off alone

Play in the snow there my son and wait for the doctors to come
Just stay in the snow there my son and wait for the doctors to come

Afraid of the future, ashamed of my past
Lost out in orbit, a dinner for rats
A third of a century with fear of my eyes
The ship I was born on is creaking to capsize

Follow the sun away from the shadows
A bird in the hand is two in the shallows
