Hands Songtext
von ilyAIMY

These are my hands I have scarred them
All on my own
And I have seen them fighting battles out on their own
I try to mind them I am firm but kind
They are my children
My threatened kin I try to mind them
They′re silent about where they've been

These are your wounds and I am not a healer
Mix peroxide and salt you know just wash it out
Watch your mouth
You know I′m crawling back towards your shore

You know confusion my hands are birds
They've lost their focus
Floating useless upon their pegs with my strength I've been ruthless
But the truth won′t find me here

It was fatal deeply hidden
The blood on my hands she insists it all was hers
Under oceans I′ve been swimming
There's saltwater deep within my head


It was fatal deeply hidden
The blood upon my hands I insist it is all my own
Under mountains I′ve been digging
There's earth caked thick beneath my nails

Maybe thoughtless that I am I am pretentious
But I do not stab I do not skewer
The blood upon my hands it is all my own
Maybe thoughtless that I am I am pretentious
But I do not stab I do not skewer
The blood upon my hands it is all my own

Approach me with the poker held high
Belief in this thing is belief in steel
My hands are monsters I hold them high
Cut them off they have their voices
Children′s voices held up oh so high
Up in the sky angels chide them
"My hands are innocent" or so they cry
Or so they cry
Or so they cry
Or so they cry


Maybe thoughtless that I am I am pretentious
But I do not stab I do not skewer
The blood upon my hands it is all my own
Maybe thoughtless that I am I am pretentious
But I do not stab I do not skewer
The blood upon my hands it is all my own
