Caligula’s Horse
The Hands Are the Hardest
[Verse 1]
Wait, love
For sight as though I never knew that I was blind
Mercy, patience, promises we left behind
All I can hope for is to wake, love
And trembling hands to stillness find their way
Quiet, I can hold my breath and to hope to God it stays
The hands are the hardest, always
[Chorus]
And sober never shone quite so bright
Colour me blind, just empty glass on canvas
The hands are the hardest
[Verse 2]
One more
Stare into the dream the dead are begging for
And this is what you wanted, feed me, give me all
Deep in the poison, find the cure
[Chorus]
And when sober gives me spark
I will stand in the light
When sober gives me eyes
I'll sue for peace
These sweet dreams
Sue for peace
These sweet dreams
[Bridge]
"Love conquers all," you said
But until then, light be damned
And down that hole I dive again
[Chorus]
When sober gives me spark
I will stand in the light
When sober gives me eyes
I'll sue for peace
These sweet dreams
Sue for peace
These sweet dreams
[Outro]
(This is what you've always wanted)
Seeing in colour now
(Look at what you made me do)
Make me a martyr
(This is where our dreams have brought us)
Laying me softly down
(Look at what you made me do)
All for you
(This was for our sons and daughters)
All for you
(Look at where our dreams have brought us)
