Heavy Hands

I can only rest when I have energy to unwind.

Sometimes there is no other answer,

sometimes there is no one to call,

and I cannot rest,

I cannot rest now.

You said you saw those seeds about to sprout,

you poured the water in

and then you poured it back out.

It was never about us.

There are things about me I don't even know.

watch me in my sleep,

get my lips moving slow.

In the darkness, you, the candle,

can see all of my shadows.

You hold my heart in your hands,

you hold my hands apart,

you hold my heart in your hands,

you hold my hands apart,

you hold my face in your hands,

you hold my heart in your hands-

my heavy hands apart!
