Feel these arms Steel arms, now we are blind Hide my eyes My eyes so out of place here Now we are hard-cutting Trapped in beneath Cold-loving mirrors stand alone They lead you alone They lead you alone
Old hearts break down Footsteps tied till believeing Can we hold sand? Slow hands break up the family We all fall down One chance to fail, sleepwalking Take off your face You'll learn to trust my dry hands
This cage is still And he cracks, now we are safer True dreams stay west I say to kids 'are you protected?' Now we are answers Silence pressed pure We wait at the crest of our will And we stand alone We lead you alone
We lead you alone
(Still) we will feel movement (Still) and we will fill stations (Still) we will fear time (Still) this time we are bleeding (Still) tears of love like strangers (Still) bite through, break the ice (Still) soon words will be forgotten (Still) though, cruel scenes linger on
We hide from sound-paintings on distant walls We hide from cold still-lives on empty floors We hide our bent husbands behind slamming doors Don't run to the window Because burning glass warps
We stand still And we stand like whores We are alone And we stand still And we stand like whores We are alone We stand still Yes, we stand like whores We are alone We stand still
