Oceandust - Hands Like Houses

There’s no more wind to be found

In the sails

Hands full of falling stars

And comet tails

Rivers of sand

All entwined through my hands

To know what they’ve seen

Well my burden’s all pale

I’ll make an hourglass from my fingers

I know I’m only passing through

I don’t want to pretend

That I’m stronger for it all

I don’t want to pretend

That the sadness is gone

'Cause I want to know that I’m steady on my feet

I don’t want to pretend

So be shrill, be real to me

There’s no respite to be found

In the waves

Each rise and retreat will scrub the blood away

I’ll make an hourglass from my fingers

I know I’m only passing through

I don’t want to pretend

That I’m stronger for it all

I don’t want to pretend

That the sadness is gone

'Cause I want to know that I’m steady on my feet

I don’t want to pretend

So be shrill, be real to me

I don’t want to pretend

That I’m stronger for it all

I don’t want to pretend that the sadness is gone

I don’t want to pretend

That I’m stronger for it all

I don’t want to pretend that the sadness is gone

'Cause I want to know that I’m steady on my feet

I don’t want to pretend

So be shrill, be real to me
