and scratch you with the jaggedness of them
i've always been rough
being gentle doesn't come with these hands
scarred with your name
and drawn to your fingers
you're the cuticles on mine
leaving my hands bleeding
i suck on the blood to comfort my digits
that won't ever be intact
since i touched your skin
since my thumb wrapped around your thumb
since my index finger wrapped around your index finger
since my middle finger wrapped around your middle finger
since my ring finger wrapped around your ring finger
since my pinky wrapped around your pinky
since your fingers fit perfectly in between my knuckles
since the lines of our hands waltz and sweated together
and your hand fell asleep while holding mine
since my hands ran its finest extremities through your long, dark hair
you're here
even when i don't see you
you are here
in between my hands
in the length of my arms
in every line on my hands
in every crevice of my knuckles
in between every layer of my skin
this is where you are
this is where i keep you
i am here
i am nowhere
Neko Case- I Wish I Was The Moon
chimney falls and lovers blaze
thought that i was young
now i've freezing hands and bloodless veins
as numb as i've become
i'm so tired
i wish i was the moon tonight
last night i dreamt i had forgotten my name
coz i had sold my soul but awoke just the same
i'm so lonely
i wish I was the moon tonight
god blessed me, i'm a free man
with no place free to go
i'm paralyzed and collared-tight
no pills for what i fear
this is crazy
i wish i was the moon tonight
chimney falls and lovers blaze
thought that i was young
now i've freezing hands and bloodless veins
as numb as i've become
i'm so tired,
i wish i was the moon tonight
how will you know if you found me at last
coz i'll be the one, be the one, be the one
with my heart in my lap
i'm so tired, i'm so tired
And i wish i was the moon tonight
i'm so tired, i'm so tired,
and i wish i was the moon
i'm so tired, i'm so tired,
and i wish i was the moon tonight
