lyrics

My hands smell like your hands
As I’m lying in the middle of the bed
All my plans look like loose strands
I squeeze tightly; they go limp I go red.

Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold on to

The dreams eat at my seams
Pulling threads in the middle of the dark
All the creams for my esteem
All the pills lining shiny boxes

Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold on to

My hands look like dead hands
Limply lying where you left
Taking exams to measure how this expands
Inside my head there is a mess;
inside my chest there’s been a theft

Oh I want my plans to smell like you
I really and quite truly do
I want your hands where are your hands
To hold onto

My throat sore to swallow,
Pulling at the pillows chewing every thread
My throat sore to swallow
Lying naked in the remnants of our bed
