Building Better Bridges

(アルバム： Wooden Heart - 2010)

Our heart burns broken at the ends, they fail us, keep building my lungs are wax inside my ribs, you're burning, well I'm breathing this back breaks walked on from carrying friends, can't stop now, still working your life's like rain drops on my tongue, I believe you, keep raining and it's alright, it's alright, we are not right now complete and I'm alright, you're gonna be alright, we might never be complete but the water keeps rising, it's rising, everybody get into the water and hold each others hands and lives, let's all push our hearts together…. we're gonna leave these shores right now, be everything we've never been but you gotta swear to promise that we'll never go back again, ever again and we're not just islands lying beside each others shorelines we're all bound with veins and hopes, we are not each others ghosts our hearts are abridged, let's build bridges to each other so this river won't take us under filled with monsters and goblins, they keep dragging the bottom our life is a bridge, let's build bridges to each other and pray we don't go under, oh these careless waters

I'm trying not to confuse: being used, with giving all I am by: being used, and giving everything I have, all I am so I'll build a bridge with hollow bones filled with hollow teeth inside a hollow heart, with the insides carved and let the blood in these veins freeze let the water in these veins freeze and break and flood the dam we are all we have, this is all we need, hold on it may never end and I might have to drink my teeth again if I wash up on the coast so I'll build a bridge with all that's left, & not make any more new ghosts show me your life, wide and bright, I hope that patience fills the seams keep what's inside, dry and right, you arch the frame I'll span the beams our lives are a bridge for us to give, I want to build a better bridge from every wrong we've done to each other, if I forgive will you forgive? cause one day we're gonna close our eyes for death or rest and abandon ourself, this weak mind and breath and the columns we made, and roots we grew down deep will be pulled and gathered in to firewood, and burnt for heat but when the tension shifts, and these braces turn I'll try and build a better bridge and when all our piers burn, and the hinges miss I'm gonna build a better bridge our hearts are abridged, let's build bridges to each other so we don't take ourselves under
