Sleeping At Last - Careful Hands lyrics

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 it's prey

I can feel the weight around us
Climbing every rib inside us
A sanctuary in a lion's mouth
