My Own Hands Lyrics - Reinventing Your Exit

Your open eyes exorcize all my facades 

They peer inside, throwing daggers at my throat 

I remember that day you told me, and I quote, 

I've got my own way of doing things, of doing things 

Hold me close until it means something 

You're not the one to settle for anything 

Indifference is on the tip of my tongue 

But I'll never know 

My brain left my body long ago 

Anxious sweat manifests obvious intentions 

And I fear I've lost my imagination 

She said, "Boredom is the killer of muses, 

But brooding like this is completely useless" 

Hold me close until it means something 

You're not the one to settle for anything 

Indifference is on the tip of my tongue 

But I'll never know 

My brain left my body long ago 

So what are you doing? 

I'm running away 

Where are you going? 

I really can't say 

I'm brushing dust off my plans 

And I'm putting my life back into my own hands, my own hands 

It took me so long to realize that you were the page that I fell asleep on 

And I've got my own way of doing things
