Careful Hands
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
When our color dies
We will bury the ashes of time
And we will earn new eyes
Wrists get tired rewriting futures
Our bodies beg us to be creatures of habit
We are creatures of habit
Only with careful hands
We'll turn their fangs into feathers and cures.
Only with careful hands
We'll divide the prisoner
From the pioneer
Clever beauty
Umbrellas folding
In 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
A sanctuary in a lion's mouth
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
When our color dies
We will bury the ashes of time
And we will earn new eyes
Wrists get tired rewriting futures
Our bodies beg us to be creatures of habit
We are creatures of habit
Only with careful hands
We'll turn their fangs into feathers and cures.
Only with careful hands
We'll divide the prisoner
From the pioneer
Clever beauty
Umbrellas folding
In 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
A sanctuary in a lion's mouth
