Hands Like Houses piosenki

There’s better ways for us to waste our days, Than returning stares that we borrowed for too long. For too long, swallowed up by an empty page. What starvation feeds you, devourer Of the words of a thousand authors and poets, alike? Wells have emptied to whet...

I wish I’d just stood and let the sun creep through me. Instead of my attempts to build slingshots, spools and sinkers to bring in the sky. Inventions out of sticks and stones, a crown dusted off from beneath the bones. A white liar, protector of our hearts an...

It starts with a spark, a breath and a moment of still, A flicker, a glow, as the oxygen spills through a delta of spindles and stone, Kindled from nothing in a whisper of smoke. There a gift ignites; a cursive though takes flight, And there's a dancer, t...

Pry the darkness from my eyes Divided, let the light seep in Trees devoid of branches and hollow hives Endless black and empty beds It's not the same, something's changed I never used to be able to see past the trees A thousand unfamiliars are lying thi...

Father, we fled your house of grey. We ran from home to seek a place where our bodies would never grow. Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world. She has an appetite for boys and girls and she’s hungry for your soul. Little boys with dreams of paper plan...

Wrong place, wrong time, wrong side of the tracks to be Split lip, chipped teeth and a taste of tar and concrete Still in a daze, head in a haze, somebody please put me back to sleep Put me back to sleep, yeah I'm slipping away, starting to fade, circling...

I sit in the back of my throne Breathing in second hand smoke You got me at the end of my rope Quietly hopin' you, hopin' you choke Biting down on my tongue Till I can taste, I can taste blood My mouth is like a loaded gun Screaming at the top of my, to...

If I'm bred for failure, just tell me once 'Cause I don't feel like I'm meant to just survive If I have no future, if it's already paying for the past Just give me the pieces so I can call them mine I don't care if I leave empty handed I will learn if I...

For better or for worse Our vision of the future's getting blurred Between the black and white Naming every shade of grey has left us colourblind We are all for none and none for all We are the sickness and the symptom and the cure We are all for none a...

It's never ending a season I can't shake, a foreign winter a curse I can't escape I feel the winter burying my bones a core reminder that I'm so far from home I know we're worlds apart Seasons stitched together somehow What's it like where you are?...

We get in our own way, tripping on our feet Filling up our heads too much with words too hard to speak Drowning in a place, where the night can not escape Commit ourselves into the depths, exposed against a page Caught in a phrase, an echo in our minds A...

I won't ask for a second I won't ask for a chance I won't look to the heavens I found hell where I stand And I feel like I am fighting a lost cause Just to be heard I can't hear from the howling Drowning every single word Let me count the ways you kil...

Is this the edge of the world? We chased the horizon down ‘til it hung beneath our feet. Now I’m drifting blind. All I know is we can’t move closer. I’ve never seen the lights of the north, The constellations are so unfamiliar. We followed far, as far...

Wandering, weightless I’m empty, I’m faded Stumbling, nameless I’m falling, failing, faithless… I won’t fade away to nothing If I say a prayer for someone who’ll say a prayer for me, when I ask myself, if the life I lead’s the price I have to pay?...

Here I am, the hammer strikes one, two, three I'm impatiently tapping my feet In a murmuring room full of critics and fakers all waiting to take their seat. The focus of the room, all bating breath Waiting on a single word that could spill from my mouth...

A silver line, a disease on the horizon, A whistling in the trees - it marches on It's like a tide - impatient and insincere A threat born on the wind - it marches on A weight on the air I feel it in the silence Take a second to listen The earth starts...

The edge it calls to me from the grey I don't know what I will say and I'm afraid of being oblivious to oblivion I'll say a prayer under my breath And hope you'll hear If it's my time to go I don't want to look back I'm waiting for something Like a...

You're puttin' me together and tear me apart You're always gonna be the other half of my heart I've been hard on myself, but don't say you're sorry Just say anything, I'm not ready for lonely Tomorrow's always better than yesterday, it never comes too far...

The disconnect Is welling up, And good intentions are not enough. Your words are weary, Their hearts are strained, And idle vows find the deepest pains. I’m sick, I’m tired Of hollow hope, Of promises, empty, Your way with words, They’re feeding bac...

We don't belong here. In a way we are all connected, threaded together. In a way we are all suspended, bound going nowhere. Wake up, walk on the wires. Defeat and define. Wake up, evolve and escape, Unravel, unmake yourself. We speak in tongues...
