lyrics

so I hurt my hands again
(hands running circles on and on)
disassembling what's familiar
(hands running circles)
but dismantling me instead
(hands running circles on and on)
with calloused hands on dying embers
(hands running circles)
and while you think you're making sound when
(hands running circles on and on)
you're alone and yelling timber
(hands running circles)
so i trust my hands again
(hands running circles on and on)
from march until september
(hands running circles)

it's the ground that makes us
it's twice contagious
your heart is ticking sixty-one seconds wrong

it's the lives that you tried
and you tried
it's the space that taints us
so frail and careless
your heart is slowly broken on and on
it's the lives that you tried
and you tried

I guess they're gone
it's the fog that comes at night
don't you think it's the first time
that you watch the kite spiral the sky

I guess they're gone
it's the space you watch in fright
all that makes you sleep inside
the machine that loved you all this time

and while the gears are scraping all our skin
(hands running circles on and on)
and the LEDs are lying
(hands running circles)
I see your face is frowning oh so thin
(hands running circles on and on)
but the corners of your eyes are smiling
(hands running circles)

it's the ground that makes us
it's twice contagious
your heart is ticking sixty-one seconds wrong

It's the lives that you tried and you tried
It's the space that taints us
so frail and careless
your heart is slowly broken on and on
it's the lives that you tried
and you tried

I guess they're gone
it's the space you watch in fright
all that makes you sleep inside
the machine that loved you all this time

I guess they're gone
it's the fog that comes at night
don't you think it's the first time
that you watch the kite spiral the sky

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

I guess they're gone

HEY

rou-ee-on-ee-on-eee-onnnnnn

(disney strings, arpeggiated recorder)
