kleenex girl wonder - withholding hands lyrics

she goes the way she came
like a fragment of a nightmare
you had when you were fifteen years old
so every word
drips with bittersweet reverb
distorted by the silence of the room
so here we are
asleep in cakewalk 9
breathing bullets like an airgun
while a spider-coloured gl-ss
of a sharp delayed guitar
fills with the smoke of an uncompressed snare drum

do we forget the lives we’ve lived as new ones come along?
and can you fall asleep to someone else’s favourite song?
we find our strength grow steadily as love and hope decrease
so withholding hands we seize the strings and cringe at each release

the road’s a wolf that sneaks
from points a and b to some new empty house
with one light on and three cars in the drive
and that’s why we speak
to try and bridge the tender gap
between breathing and being alive
and the echo-filled fog
has you thinking that the element of surprise
is more familiar than it seems
and so you drive
and spit your hopes and fears
through the exhaust pipe in a stream of dreamy steam

so why remember when it takes no effort to forget?
pretend you spent the night alone the day we never met
the only time you lose yourself is when you think you know
that the heavy hands that hold you hostage have to let you go
