My Two Hands

by Aayushi

/

lyrics

Don't you mistake cold
For fear of warmth
It's a contradiction and it's been
Drummed into a truth
A window painted black,
A secret, my inside

Uneven floorboards hold me back
A ticket's worth of tears
When I would rather wait for a stranger
Than a mistake made just for me

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin

Bend your neck towards a smile
Just make sure it's all a restriction
In the back of your mind
Close enough to worry that you've
Stained the precious sky

Oh strangers take me slowly
A lost mistake, you'll look and say
We made this just for you
It's freezing cold

And the warmth, it spills into my dreams
A tidal wave tried to break the wall
Of a paper world behind my skin
Tell me why the lines in my two hands
Hold different tales, and shroud me in
These metaphors behind my skin
