[Verse 1]
I've an image in my pocket
Of some dark demon
That temptation brought to life
And it chokes all of my breath out
I'm scratching and screaming
'Til morning comes to night

[Chorus]
Place your hand
My body will decide
Place your hand
My anger will subside

[Verse 2]
There are fragments of possessions
Shards of past relations
Splintering my skin
A fear so black and hollow
It can suffocate creation
And refuse to let you in

[Chorus]
Place your hand
My body will decide
Place your hand
My anger will subside
[Bridge]
And they speak to me like prophets in my dreams
Speak to me like prophets in my dreams
Shouting like prophets in my dreams

[Verse 3]
Sometimes I think it's easy
Too easy for the living
To receive the promised land
Can flesh provide the answer?
The reason for sensation?
Justify your hand

[Chorus]
Place your hand
My body will decide
Place your hand
My anger will subside
