Hopeless Hands Hold Circumstance

from Grandfather by Chasing Nora

lyrics

I swore I saw an angel
Back when I was ten
It filled my head with hope
But that's when I was ten

And now I'm not so trusting
And I hate what I've become
A body filled with pestilence
Because I'm a slave to what I love

And they said
Boy turn it down
Boy turn it down
Your voice is just too loud
I said boy turn it down

Babe we should stop fighting
It's three more ticks till dawn
I'll just take the couch
Because my words came out wrong

And I'll put my hands away
Because these walls have had it's fill
My eyes they start to sting
My knuckles stained and still

My knuckles run from the cracks we've created
I thought we made it
But quarrelsome words stick quarrels to my chest
Picked at a particular cadence
Payments are due and I swear I know my debt
So to you these words I'll give you what I have kept

And I said
Boy turn them down
Boy turn them down
They're voices are too loud
I said boy turn it down

Boy turn them down
Boy turn them down
But I can't
Because I don't know how
