The Steady Hand

paler than the blankest page and talking in braille

i left my angry body tethered to the safety rail

all hail the new calm and careful home

coming under attack

blow as the seasons might

deirdre blows it all right back

deirdre, shake that steady hand

it's the only thing you have

i've been playing dumb just likes i love to do, hey!

holding up a birthday candle to the moon, hey!

and they could boo till their pencils bleed

till opinion is fact

blow as the seasons might

deirdre blows it all right back

deirdre shake that steady hand

it's the only thing you have

deirdre take that nervous step

the steady hand

the feeling leaves a dozen take it's place on the shelf

i'm on this sobriety kick please help

deirdre, control is all you have

and i'm all out myself
