understanding is nothing much
and surrender comes with every touch
like the darkness can hide shame
i know the truth that’s in my mind
can take another name and flee

i can feel you
but you seem far away
we’re holding each other tight
with these hands of rage tonight

wills of iron turn to rust
it’s dangerous to play with broken trust
it’s no wonder you couldn’t guess
what’s going on with someone
whose life is such a complicated mess

i can feel you
but you seem far away
we’re holding each other tight
with these hands of rage tonight

hope is fleeting, i need to rest
you’ve fixed it so i can’t pass the test
i dream of corners and blinding light
i dream in this everlasting night

redemption’s waiting patiently
but who will reach out, you or me
like the snow will melt away
maybe the ice around our hearts
will weaken and just wash away

i can feel you
but you seem far away
we’re holding each other tight
with these hands of rage tonight
