Hands over Eyes

Just up the stairs in your closet lies a
Skeleton nobody knows
It’s buried under the old oak floor
It shadows you just like a ghost
You hear it calling, don’t you
Feel it haunting?
Your skin shivers
Your lips quiver
Under pressure
Your sorrow’s in the fold
So you don’t have to hide
Hands over eyes
Your eyes
Shut all the windows and lock the doors
But that won’t keep the fire out
You built a castle with paper walls
And now it’s burning to the ground
The smoke is rising
Don’t you see it coming in
Your skin shivers
Your lips quiver
Under pressure
Your sorrow’s in the fold
So you don’t have to hide
Hands over eyes
With your lantern in the dark
Face the trembling in your heart
Your skin shivers
Your lips quiver
Under pressure
Your sorrow’s in the fold
So you don’t have to hide
Hands over eyes
Don’t have to hide
Hands over eyes
