Текст Counterparts — The Hands That Used to Hold Me

Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head

Digging shards of bone from both our feet

Removing teeth to free what’s left of sentences unsaid

Ensuring my last breath echoes relief

We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls

As our home disintegrates into a grave

Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure

Nothing else can grow

You left as I was dreaming

But when I opened my eyes

 

You swore you were still here

Preserving footprints in the colour of our blood

And as our veins ran dry you swore you were still here

Suffocate me in my sleep

The weight of my belief will bury me

Suffocate me in my sleep

The weight of my belief will bury me

I felt your presence fleeing long before you took your leave

You swore you were still here

 

Leaving small incisions in the hands that used to hold me

And as our veins ran dry you swore you were still here

Hold my eyelids open and secure my hanging head

Digging shards of bone from both our feet

Removing teeth to free what’s left of sentences unsaid

Ensuring my last breath echoes relief

We ignore the sound of two dissolving souls

As our home disintegrates into a grave

Rebuilt above burnt earth to be sure

Nothing else can grow

 

You swore you were still here

You swore you were still here
