tight wire and cold hands

Singer:slow coming day

and he finds himself

waking up in a different bed

in a different bed. with a crook in his neck

and sleep in his eyes

he turns to sigh

he turns to sigh. he's running too fast

to know how far

he slid away

he slid away. it's one step over the ledge

you're fading fast into dead ends

and tell me why you stand with

tight wire and cold hands. her open wound

their bodies lie all alone

they lie all alone tonight. the sharp knife

it cuts through

deep through the skin

deep through her skin. she's running too fast

to know how far

she slid away

she slid away. it's one step over the ledge

you're fading fast into dead ends

and tell me why you stand

with tight wire and cold hands.
