Your bones are brittle 
Inside you 
Wrapped so soft your blood 
Is running, I'll be there 
If you're moving slowly 
We still get there I'll be there 
Such a strong desire 
Hunger 

All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah 
The slow hand quickens 

What you've done with all those 
Around you 
Hopeful always that someone 
Will come and save you but I'll be there 
To watch you sulk, returning 
Seething I'll be there 
Minutes hold onto hours 
Gets you twisting 

All you need to hope you keep your head, yeah
The slow hand quickens

How'd you leave it with the love you lost?
You made them crawl to be without you
The slow hand quickens

Yeah sand is empty
In the hourglass I'll be there
To turn it over and over
In your head
So you keep the hope you get your day, yeah

The slow hand's quicker 
You seem too hard to break
Too cold to burn
Afraid your chance is gone
Your wires are crossed 
Your mouth is lost 
You fear you left it far too long 
The minutes passed 
The hours are gone 
So hard to find your way alone 

The slow hand's quicker, yeah 
The slow hand's quicker 
The slow hand's quicker 

I...
Your slow hand's quicker
