Soft Hands
When I sleep, I face the East My bed's a burning ember When you're dreaming of another You must keep her on your mind And I'm bound from hand to feet Trying hard to make the winner When you're looking to the futures When you're tender, fall behind The knives inside my throat No, were not meant for your body Yeah, they were there to hold me From speaking all my mind Once you left the coast Well I prayed you'd come to see me 'Cause the naked children swimming Ask about you all the time So look, to the West I promise you will find me I'm the one with soft hands And bruises on my face And don't forget just why we started fighting Yeah remember how exciting, how it felt to be afraid How it felt to be alive Letras de cancionesSo I wrote another play But I fired all the actors 'Cause they said they wouldn't practise All the lines they saw saw me steal When I finally found a stage Well, the ground was glass and ashes And all the burning crosses Wouldn't keep them in their seats I'm lying beneath the trees Lifeless as your laughter Well if you take me back a while I promise you will smile We'll slip into the streets Drunk as lonely soldiers And we'll own the night like vandals Til the morning burns our eyes Yes, we'll slip into the streets Drunk as lonely soldiers And we'll own the night like vandals Til the morning burns our eyes Til the morning burns our eyes So look, to the West I promise you will find me I'm the one with soft hands And bruises on my face And don't forget just why we started fighting Yeah remember how exciting, how it felt to be afraid How it felt to be alive Yeah remember how exciting, how it felt to feel afraid How it felt to feel alive From Letras Mania
