Sleepwalk

Feel these armssteel arms, now we are blindhide my eyesmy eyes so out of place herenow we are hard-cuttingtrapped in beneathcold-loving mirrors stand alonethey lead you alonethey lead you aloneold hearts break downfootsteps tied till believeingcan we hold sand?slow hands break up the familywe all fall downone chance to fail, sleepwalkingtake off your faceyou'll learn to trust my dry handsthis cage is stilland he cracks, now we are safertrue dreams stay west

I say to kids "are you protected?"now we are answerssilence pressed purewe wait at the crest of our willand we stand alonewe lead you alonewe 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 onwe hide from sound-paintings on distant wallswe hide from cold still-lives on empty floorswe hide our bent husbands behind slamming doorsdon't run to the windowbecause burning glass warpswe stand stilland we stand like whoreswe are aloneand we stand stilland we stand like whoreswe are alonewe stand stillyes, we stand like whoreswe are alonewe stand still
