Your bones are brittle inside you
Wrapped so soft, your blood is running,
I'll be there
If you're moving slowly we still get there
I'll be there
Such a strong desire
Hunger
Oh you need to hope you keep your head, yeah
The slow hand quickens
What you've done with all those around you
Hopeful always that someone will come and save you
But I'll be there
To watch you sulk, returning seething
I'll be there
Minutes hold onto hours
Gets you twisting
Oh you need to hope you keep your head, yeah
The slow hand quickens
How'd you leave it with the love you lost
You made them crawl to be without you
The slow hand quickens
Yeah sand is empty in the hourglass
I'll be there
To turn it over and over in your head
So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah
The slow hand quickens, oh
You seem too hard to break, too cold
To burn, afraid your chance is gone
Your wires are crossed, your mouth is lost
You fear you left it far too long
The minutes pass, the hours are gone
So hard to find your way alone
The slow hand quickens, yeah
The slow hand quickens
The slow hand quickens
I...
Your slow hand quickens
