Beni from HolyShift Vol1 by Sarah Carter

Started to run with the thunder
A heart became hard and confused
Cut from a cloth so tender
Hands so soft they’re hardly used

Forgotten I walked so wildly
Holding so tight to you
Forgotten that a love comes lightly
When you suffocate it blue

So I wait with these hands
Ready now to work the land
I’ve got holes in my pockets from the lies I told myself
So I wait with these hands
Ready now I understand
I’ve got holes in my pockets from the lies I told to you
The lies I told to you

Thought the rain would define me
I circled round every suit
Cars stacking up behind me
Hand so soft head so confused

Forgotten I walked so blindly
Holding so tight the noose
Forgotten no love comes lightly when you suffocate the truth

So I wait with these hands
Ready now to work the land
I’ve got holes in my pockets from the lies I told myself
So I wait with these hands
Ready now I understand
I’ve got holes in my pockets from the lies I told to you
The lies I told to you
