lyrics

Thumb Skills

When you try out when you cry out ice-cold tears
Shaking daggers moonlight staggers like pierced ears
Ever ready holding steady through the years

And when I got erased
You about-faced; you shifted weight
And I wonder where, where could you go?
With all those skills, I wanna know

Bending, breaking, not forsaking love and loss
Holding hands out trembling stands out: it’s your cross
Ending as a painted payday on lip gloss

And how I got erased
You about-faced; you shifted weight
And I wonder where, where could you go?
With all those skills, I didn’t know

Turning sour on the hour in the sun
Bathing beauty tour of duty hit and run
Holding faster ever after dead and done

And why I got erased
You about-faced; you shifted weight
And I wonder where, where could you go?
With all those skills, I’d like to know
And why you didn’t show all those thumb skills
I’d like to know
