Unsteady Hands

from Translation by Homelife

lyrics

Good posture has become unable to maintain | I’m beginning to buckle at the base of my frame | With my projections and perspectives aligned | I know I’m not the only one with shoulders slouched watching my feet barely leave the ground | As I refrain from dropping to my knees I begin to notice the true weight of this burden and what it really means | So I can’t let myself gracefully float like a feather in apathy | Just like the ones that I’ve seen letting their values dissolve in the sand as it slips through their hands | Sifting so swiftly through the gaps that they struggle to clasp | I watched as they brush off the remnants and wash it away | While others scrape at the earth until their fingers wear thin searching for worth within their actions | hoping to hold that piece of the world again
