Hands Like Houses - Spineless Crow lyrics

Streets, these visions
An origami city folding in
Construction, creation
We are architects and kings
Lifting street stones from their beds
To build these homes from memory
As we're tangled in our sleep

We were young together
But I've grown ancient
Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep

The realization sinks in through the skin
Like a disease, a blight inside of me
I'm missing your touch
Your weight on my fingers
What was familiar becomes unfamiliar, oh
Give me an anchor, a lifeline to hold
Bring me back to something I know for sure

We were young together
But I've grown ancient
Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep

Locked away
A dream-dweller pale from hiding with secrets
Deeper than daylight dares
Daylight dares to seek come out, emerge!
Hands to our eyes, overexposed for all we are
Oh, for all we are

We were young together
But I've grown ancient
Cracked and weathered and filled with regret
Waiting to sink, rushing to sink in my sleep

Lay me down in a den of dreamers
Put me to rest on a bed of sleepers
Doubt is a plague
We'll never be safe here again
When all their eyes are tied to me
Just carry the conversation please

We were young
Sandcastle kings building empires, cities
And homes we're architects tangled up
We're tangled up in our sleep
Wake up, wake up, wake up
