In The Hands Of A Broken Man Lyrics - Glass Hands

This is hell 

I'm positive, I can tell 

Because I've seen the real world 

And this place isn't as dark 

But where are your faces? 

Talk to me, we were born with lips to speak. 

And it's getting so hard to see 

I wish I could dream without my sleep 

And I'm surrounded by quicksand 

But I won't sink 

Why won't I sink? 

The product of an hourglass 

Flipping back and forth 

In the hands of a broken man 

Yeah 

I belong 

In a world where nothing's safe to say 

In here I can't say, "Maybe, 

His reflection's stopped staring back at me." 

It's time to go 

We move too slow 

To get over the death of a loved one 

I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son." 

I'm here to stay, my son. 

And all of these walls 

Won't keep out my generation 

I will try to be who you want me to be 

'Cause all you ever wanted was for me to be happy 

'Cause this is my life 

And I'm not taking a single thing for granted 

These broken hands are wearing thin 

I belong in a world where nothing's safe to say 

In here I can't say, "Maybe, 

His reflection's stopped staring back at me." 

It's time to go 

We move too slow 

To get over the death of a loved one 

I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son." 

And I let myself fall, 'cause it's better than nothing 

Now I lay in the darkness to learn what light is to me 

And I have so much reason to write 

But the weight on my hands make it hard to pick up a pen 

And all I know is that I want you back today 

I found out the hard way 

These cracks in the highway won't slow me down 

Slow me down 

And then my heart gave out 

A hint of doubt told me, 

"I've tried all I can, I hope you understand." 

(I belong, I belong) 

I belong in a world where nothing's safe to say 

In here I can't say, "Maybe, 

His reflection's stopped staring back at me." 

It's time to go 

We move too slow 

To get over the death of a loved one 

I need to hear you say, "I'm here to stay, my son."
