Crime
...Rough hands are only part of the story

You can leave here, but you've got to be somewhere
You can breathe here, but it's a labor of love yourself

You should never have shrunk yourself down
To fit your father's most beautiful clothes
It's and old crime, but you find that it's wrapped up around you
Every day of your life

Rough hands are only part of the story
Restless, down on your sides
You can sink yourself in the details
But the crimes don't live in your hands

The scenery is turning to rust
And the nails here are starting to show
It's and old frame you've hung on the picture of your face
Faded and Gold
Gold....

You can say that you've never been anywhere, but
It's not like you haven't hidden
Your footprints inside the ones of
Giants who came before you

You should never have shrunk yourself down
To fit your father's most beautiful clothes
It's a small crime, but you find that it's wrapped up around you
Every day of your life

It's a small crime
It's a small crime
It's a small crime....
