All fingers and thumbs
Just careless and dumbstruck
Half cut and senseless
I built my defences

All of my mistakes
Souvenirs of the dark days
Sneak up on my blind side
All battered and red eyed

I’m standing up sideways
Say hello to the hard days
All I’ve become, no it can’t be undone
In a muddle of fingers and thumbs

From a hair line of fractures
Cracks spread from the rafters
By inches and fractions
The world is collapsing
In the hell and high water
I crumble before her
But until my heart stops
She’s all that I’ll ever want

I’m standing up sideways
Say hello to the hard days
All I’ve become, no it can’t be undone
In a muddle of fingers and thumbs
