Careful Hands

Careful Hands - Sleeping At Last

Put your coat on this city trembles

Keep your chin up as you untangle god

From cold blood and bruises

We are x rays of something broken

Cursive bloodlines write every forecast

An orchestration

Of dissonance and innocent surrender

Wow

When our color dies

We will bury the ashes of time

Wow

We will earn new eyes

Wrists get tired rewriting futures

Bodies beg us to be creatures of habit

We are creatures of habit

Wow

Only with careful hands

Turn their fangs into feathers and cures

Wow

Only with careful hands

Divide the prisoner

From the pioneer

Clever beauty

Umbrellas folding

Architecture our lines will measure

A map to find us

Blue ink will guide us home

Cranes are creeping lifting metal

We will find new ways to settle

Tipping scales from the killer to its prey

I can feel the weight around us

Climbing every rib inside us

Sanctuary in a lion's mouth
