Lyrics
Quicksand
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.
There are wires in between
Human heart and machine
I will wait for mountains
To tell me you're okay
On paper my future will lay
I'll fold every failure into a crane
Trust is quicksand
Claiming everything I have
All to give me life, all to give me life
Slow down, hide your eyes!
The sun is setting fire
Through glass, branches deep
I cough only to breathe
Trust is quicksand
Claiming everything I have
All to give me life, all to give me life
One thousand more to go
I'll send every prayer from below
I was swallowed by a whale
Slow down, you're all words
And love is made of yarn
Scissors
A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue
God knows I meant no harm, I meant no harm
In between every promise and lie there is a kiss
In between tempers and suitcases there is a kiss
In between medicine and the sick there is a kiss
In between arrows, aim, and release, there is a kiss
(Anchors in reverse)
(Lead us back to birth)
