Sleeping At Last - Quicksand lyrics

There are wires in between
Human heart and machine
I will wait for mountains
To tell me you're okay

On paper my future will lay
I'll fold every failure into a crane

Trust is quicksand
Claiming everything I have
All to give me life, all to give me life

Slow down, hide your eyes!
The sun is setting fire
Through glass, branches deep
I cough only to breathe

Trust is quicksand
Claiming everything I have
All to give me life, all to give me life
One thousand more to go
I'll send every prayer from below
I was swallowed by a whale

Slow down, you're all words
And love is made of yarn scissors
A slip of the hand, a slip of the tongue
God knows I meant no harm, I meant no harm

In between every promise and lie
There is a kiss
In between tempers and suitcases
There is a kiss

In between medicine and the sick
There is a kiss
In between arrows, aim, and release
There is a kiss

(Anchors in reverse lead us back to birth)
