Cold Hands

I've been drinkin' too much
And then sneakin' around
To escape all the ghosts hunting me down
They all dance in my head
While I'm layin' in bed
Turnin' my pale, white skin crimson red

I've been drinkin' too much
And the sneakin' around
To escape all the monsters hunting me down
It's a fistfight for blood
An amputee without drugs
It's so hard to get clean when I'm in the mud

But wait
When will I ever learn to love me?
When will cold hands set me free?
I try to shake them off
But hold, they hold, they hold
They hold me quickly

I can't be left alone
For an hour or more
Before I spill out my guts all over the kitchen floor
Shouting curses to God
Nearly breakin' my jaw
Carving letters to you into my arm

But wait
When will I ever learn to love me?
When will cold hands set me free?
I try to shake them off
But hold, they hold, they hold
They hold me quickly

Oh
Oh

Wait
When will I ever learn to love me?
When will cold hands set me free?
I try to shake them off
But hold, they hold, they hold
Hey
Are you gonna be the one to save me?
When will your hands set me free?
I try to shake them off
But hold, they hold, they hold
They hold me quickly
