reflect (Developments) Songtext
von Hands Like Houses

And I can′t explain enough
And I wont let it last the night
I'll show you that the image is still there
Unseen

We get it our own way
Tripping on our feet
Filling up our heads too much
With words too hard to speak
Drowning in a place
Where the night can not escape
Commit ourselves into the depths
Exposed against a page

Caught in a phrase
An echo in our minds
A flash
A flood
And it′s burned into our eyes


And I can't explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I′ll show you that the image is still there
Unseen
It′s darkest before the light
And if we shut our eyes to see
The things that we
Have lost inside the lines between

Between the black and white
Where everything goes grey
And everything's unsaid, undone
The negative bleeds away
To reveal the memory
That we′ve waited for so long for
The image shifts
The acid drips down the paper to the floor

Caught in a phrase
An echo in our minds
A flash
A flood
And it's burned into our eyes


And I can′t explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I′ll show you that the image is still there
Unseen
It's darkest before the light
And if we shut our eyes to see
The things that we
Have lost inside the lines between

We're so nervous to see
If we′ve let too much in
If we
If we were out of focus or out of frame
I know
It′s a moment of truth
If a recollection reflects reality
Or if it's lost forever

And I can′t explain enough
And I won't let it last the night
I′ll show you that the image is still there
Unseen
It's darkest before the light
If we shut our eyes to see
The things that we
Have lost inside the lines between

And I can′t explain enough
And I won't let it last
The image is still there
Unseen
