These Hands

These Hands

A Poem by Travis Prino

There's just something about this town

that keeps beating me to the ground

I'm slipping further from the sound

as these hands are reaching to pull me down

there's just something about this place

that keeps me repeating the same mistakes

I'm finally climbing to escape

but these hands are clawing at my face


never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it

never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it


there's just something about this night

that keeps draining me of life

I'm fading slowly out of sight

as these hands are digging into my thighs

there's just something about this dark

that keeps piercing into my heart

I'm crying louder than I thought

cause these hands are tearing me apart


never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it

never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it


I'll set this whole thing ablaze

let it burn till nothing remains

to end the torment coursing through my veins

I'll set this whole thing ablaze

let it burn till nothing remains

to end the torment coursing through my veins

this is the point where heaven meets hell

though which is which I can not tell


never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it

never thought it would come to this

but you've been pushed passed your limits

sanity is at your fingertips

but you can't grasp it


pull me in the right direction

so I can be cured of this affliction.
