Hands over Eyes - Wave & Rome

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
