Quicksand - Sleeping At Last

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.)
