Written On The Back Of His Hand

Lucy Kaplansky

You don't have any secrets when you come into the world

You're open like a book and the pages get filled

The leaves keep turning and on every single page

They write their story with the marks on you face

Marks on your face



Locked in your head an unbreakable code

A secret never spoken is a story never told

Gonna show you the back of my nhand they say

You can hide those scars but they hurt you every day

They hurt you every day

They hurt you every day



Chorus

What was written on the back of his hand

You once said it out loud you won't say it again

What was written on the back of his hand

You once said it out loud you won't say it again

What was written on the back of his hand

You won't say it again



Water is holy when it falls from the sky

Water tastes bitter when it falls from your eyes

Lay down on the ground and look up at the sky

There's no rhyme or reason when you're watching time fly

Watching time fly



When the stars come out the night is alive

Connect those stars with the lines of your life

With the lines on your hand with the words that you write

One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies

Beat a pack of lies

Beat a pack of lies



Chorus



One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies

One true word's gonna beat a pack of lies

Beat a pack of lies



Chorus
