Lyrics

Tender

I'm finding it hard to be tender
I'm finding it tough to the touch
The blade of the tongue the defender
The trace of the thumb to crush

The weight of the water
The way through the waves
The hopeful daughter
Unable to play

The weight of the water
The way through the waves
The hopeful daughter
Unable to stay
I'm finding it hard

Spinning
Sinking
Is it the same thing
Splitting
Blinking
A slit to an ending

Healing
Heaving
The bile that the past brings
Dusting
Dreaming
Corners for meaning

Dear I can't find
The switch to the light
Dear you're quite right
I've lost it tonight
And how I'd like to save this

Dear I can't find
The switch to the light
Dear you're quite right
I've lost it tonight

I'm finding it hard to be tender
I'm finding it tough to the touch
The blade of the tongue the defender
The trace of the thumb to crush

Oh dear I lied
I pulled out the wires
But wait for the warmth
From the electrical fire
