Breathe and hold it down
Home is where you can hang your hat
Laugh with the devil that’s on my side
Breathe, then you’re out of time
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t breathe
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t
(Sink where) Sink where you stand with your holiness
On your knees. Worship me.
Pray for me as I float through endless lies
On your knees
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t breathe
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t
Didn’t want to know it
Didn’t wanna see it
Didn’t need to know you I was born to see through
I don’t want and I don’t need anything
I’ll just laugh it off It don’t bother me none
All the rules are broke
Sink where you stand with your holiness
Sink where you stand with your holiness
Alone in this room crawling my way out
Alone in this room crawling my way out
Breathe and hold it down
Home is where you can hang your hat
Laugh with the devil that’s on my side
Breathe, then you’re out of time
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t breath
Bite my tongue
Now that I can’t
Breathe. Now Breathe for me
Yeah baby this is the way that it goes
Now breathe for me
Yeah baby this is the way that it goes
Now that I’m here
I’ve got the moves
I won’t forget my ways
Now that I’m here

What a great deal of stress that I carry
All the blame is on me.
Liar. You’re a liar.
It’s a dire shame I say
What a dire shame I say
Liar Liar
I can’t take it
Liar Liar
Say it again don’t do it again
Liar Liar
I can’t take it
Liar
If I make it away from you, I’ll be waiting
If I stray away from you, I’ll be waiting
So you think you can hide .Time is up. (Time is up)
Wait to see your plan. We’re all lining up
This is the only time. Second chances don’t exist
With my hands tied tight. So tight I can’t break loose
So you think you can hide. Time is up. (Time is up)
Wait to see your plan. We’re all lining up
Hey Hey, Hey Hey I can’t take it.
Hey Hey, Hey Hey I can’t take it.
You mean the world and nothing else to me
You mean the world and nothing else to me
You mean the world and nothing else to me
Can’t wait to break the news you’ll be coming clean to me.
I’m (I am Breaking) breaking off (you mean the world to me)
I’m (I am Breaking) breaking off
I’m lost. You’re far away from me. I can bury these lies
These lies / These lies / These lies / These lies
Lies! Lies!
I’m lost I’m lost I’m lost I’m lost
Far away from galaxy
Far away from galaxy
Far away from galaxy
Far away from galaxy
I’m lost
I’m lost
I’m lost
I’m lost

Home / Home
Home is where you’d rather be, an exit from truth, domestic casualty
Shine on me / Face to face / Here alone / So alone
Eyes of mine are open wide
Ocean floods an open mind
Plans to rain on my parade
Glad to say that you were all to blame
You know I came all alone / You know I came all alone
Shine on me / Shine on me / Face to face, how could you be so sane
Wait for me wait for me, step inside, this is what I came here for
The plan to take what’s mine is gone, The act you dare to play is lost
Shine on me / Shine on me / Face to face how could you be so sane
You know I came all alone / You know I came all alone
Home is where you’d rather be, an exit from truth, domestic casualty
You can take what’s yours / and I will take what’s mine
You can take what’s yours / and I will take what’s mine
You can have what’s yours / and I will have what’s mine
You can have what’s yours / and I will have what’s mine
Well now you’ve escaped me
I’ve been stayin put / stayin put
Your thoughts of a hideaway aren’t the same to me
Well now what a shame
I’ve been hiding (in this skin) / I’ve been hiding (in this skin)
Can you see these tracks I’ve made
keep your eyes wide open
I have left here right on the shelf
words that lead you back to me
Home is where I’ll be / I’ll wait in the fire to see
Everything isn’t always about me
I believe (I believe everything )
I believe (I believe everything )
Now I’m broken / Now I’m broken / Now I’m broke
Yeah so what I came alone / Yeah so what I came alone
The sleight of hand that causes you to smirk and walk away, I’m broken
The sleight of hand that causes you to smirk and walk away, I’m broke

Focus on the open ends
Straight down to the bitterness and dig out
I’ll wait, wait at the bottom and
Stay there give me the strength and
I’ll wait and hide in this mess of a
Place you called your own
She sways to the sound
Of the way you cannot hide
I know we’ve made our own path
We’ll cross them one more time
I’ll wear you down
If we carry on this way
I’m guaranteed to let you down
It’s the only thing I know
I’d like to find a way to stack us up
You’re the base and I’m on top
It’s the only thing I know
She sways to the sound
Of the way you cannot hide
I Know you never once made me think different
She waits in denial. Can’t understand what’s to come
I know you never once made me think different
Pull the sheets over my eyes
She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Freeze the frame collect the signs
of the money you owe me (how could you think I would never see it coming?)
She’s a wolf and she knows it, freeze the frame
Pull the sheets over my eyes
She’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing
How could you think I would never see it coming
I never saw it coming
Let me down and fade away / Let me down and fade away / Let me down and fade away
Let me down
I never saw it coming
Everything in the right. Everything in the right light appears
I can’t wait for you here or to fix what you did
I can’t wait for you here or to fix what you did
Focus on the open ends straight down to the bitterness
Focus on the open ends straight down to the bitterness
Straight down / Straight down / Straight down

DESERT HANDS Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Philadelphia Prog-Punk.
Sometimes we riff. Sometimes we get tender. Sometimes we
just buzz with cosmic wonder.
Our debut EP HEXA attempts to paint a picture of our abstract existence.
Do enjoy.
