1. SOUR GROUND

She wrote her name in sand
And lived a lie within
The sadness and sorrow
For the loss that came again
Water washed the tears away
But the emptiness stayed
Tamed itself with outrage
And spit the bitterness away

This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground

She cannot calm the screams
To silence in her head
Staring with her empty eyes
Try to feel what she had
She wrote her name in sand
And loved a lie within
Where beauty can be cruel
And beauty takes it all

This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground

I will swim with you
And play amongst the waves
Where mermaids will be singingWhere the sweet song remains
Like a comfort whisper
To be together again
She wrote her name in sand
And believed her lie within

This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground
This water won't feed the earth
Nothing grows on sour ground


2. YOUR HANDS SO COLD

Forget my past in your game
This is just a bruise
This is just the mirror meant to show the truth
Dusty eyes set free to rise, changing over soon
Dusty eyes to see now the changes in you

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me

I can't breathe this poison
It strangles little girls
The marks of pain remaining
Upon her face a pearl
A trail for all, a sinner’s ball
Stare with hungry eyes
A trail for all the sinners
Staring as you rise

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
All that's left until the end
All that's left, our time be damned
Your hand’s so cold

Oh, forgive me

This is the mirror
It reflects what is real
Sinners stare as you rise
And they kill with their eyes
This is the end
Our time may be damned
As you trip, as you change
As you slip out of range

This is the mirror
It reflects what is real
Sinners stare as you rise
And they kill with their eyes
This is the end
Our time will be damned
As you trip, as you change
As you slip

Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
Your hand’s so cold… forgive me
All that's left until the end
All that's left, our time be damned
Your hand’s so cold
