Hands Like Houses - Stillwater lyrics

[Hands Like Houses - Stillwater lyrics]

Piling stones to guide the sea
To say we stopped the tide
But we, we never did, did we?
We never did, did we?

We built as only children know to build
We made a way where there’s a will
No slowing down or standing still
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment?
Rise and fall the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Finding the cracks in our intent
We can't stop the water from rushing in
We can't stop the walls collapsing in
From rocks into reign and to ruin again

We built as only children know to build
We made a way where there’s a will
Innocent and reckless

How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment?
Rise and fall the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

Watching the years, all washed away
Scattered stones all that remains
A kingdom swallowed by the sea
(Innocent and reckless)
(Innocent and reckless)

How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment?
Rise and fall the tide surrounds us
And drowns us all

How did we get so old and never notice?
How did we gain the world
And lose the moment?
Rise and fall the tide surrounds us
And kills us all
