The Hands That Used To Hold Me
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head
Digging shards of bone from both our feet
Removing teeth to free
What's left of sentences unsaid
Ensuring my last breath echoes relief
We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls
As our home disintegrates into a grave
Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure
Nothing else can grow
You left as I was dreaming
But when I opened my eyes
You swore you were still here
Preserving footprints
In the colour of our blood
And as our veins ran dry
You swore you were still here
Suffocate me in my sleep
The weight of my belief will bury me
Suffocate me in my sleep
The weight of my belief will bury me
I felt your presence fleeing long
Before you took your leave
You swore you were still here
Leaving small incisions
In the hands that used to hold me
And as our veins ran dry
You swore you were still here
Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head
Digging shards of bone from both our feet
Removing teeth to free
What's left of sentences unsaid
Ensuring my last breath echoes relief
We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls
As our home disintegrates into a grave
Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure
Nothing else can grow
You swore you were still here
You swore you were still here
