There's no injection for this, the aching in your lungs.
So bite down, but even vipers mind the venom lacing their tongues. 

Puncture wounds and almost no color in our skin. 
And we smashed every vial of the cure.
aren't we vicious when we're backed against the wall?

I wish you'd just passed me by and we went about our ways,
Instead of this bitter exchange of poisonous words.

If the sting would tear you inside out, 
wouldn't it be worth just holding it inside?

Revenge should be honey on our tongues,
But it's turned to ash in our mouths.
Empty out the hives of our honeycomb lungs.

Don't we all want to be left alone?
- Hands like Houses
--------------------
I wish I'd just stood and let the sun creep through me.
Instead of my attempts to build slingshots, spools and sinkers to bring in the sky.
Inventions out of sticks and stones, a crown dusted off from beneath the bones.
A white liar, protector of our hearts and homes. 

Stay, don't go,
I'll eat you up, I love you so. 

I want you to follow and find me, 
Howl like its us and no-one else,
We could keep out the sadness and stand so tall,
We could run like wild things, and lie right where we fall.

So stay just what you are, you've come this far
- Hands like houses 
If only I could show your future you would light up like the sun
- hands like houses
These sentiments are second hand
-hands like houses
She's fighting for your future and she's gaining ground
-hands like houses
You are protected, you are loved
-hands like houses
Don't look down, because there's no-one looking down on you
-hands like house
Your house is built on solid ground, you'll be just fine
-hands like houses
In time, just see it through
