[00:16.54]We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living
[00:21.18]and since that first breath... We’ll need grace that we’ve never given
[00:24.59]I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts
[00:29.15]and it's not only when these eyes are closed
[00:31.56]these lies are ropes that I tie down in my stomach,
[00:34.65]but they hold this ship together tossed like leaves in this weather
[00:39.18]and my dreams are sails that I point towards my true north,
[00:43.26]stretched thin over my rib bones, and pray that it gets better
[00:46.98]but it won’t , at least I don’t believe it will...
[00:50.40]so I've built a wooden heart inside this iron ship,
[00:53.21]to sail these blood red seas and find your coasts.
[00:56.37]don’t let these waves wash away your hopes
[00:59.43]this war-ship is sinking, and I still believe in anchors
[01:02.79]pulling fist fulls of rotten wood from my heart, I still believe in saviours
[01:08.00]but I know that we are all made out of shipwrecks, every single board
[01:10.93]washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores
[01:14.56]so come on and let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
[01:19.06]and fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
[01:22.92]come on and sew us together, tattered rags stained forever
[01:27.58]we only have what we remember
[01:30.99]
[01:33.49]I am the barely living son of a woman and man who barely made it
[01:37.12]but we’re making it taped together on borrowed crutches and new starts
[01:41.76]we all have the same holes in our hearts...
[01:44.11]everything falls apart at the exact same time
[01:47.38]that it all comes together perfectly for the next step
[01:50.79]but my fear is this prison... that I keep locked below the main deck
[01:55.22]I keep a key under my pillow, it’s quiet and it’s hidden
[01:58.47]and my hopes are weapons that I’m still learning how to use right
[02:02.84]but they’re heavy and I’m awkward...always running out of fight
[02:06.32]so I’ve carved a wooden heart, put it in this sinking ship
[02:09.63]hoping it would help me float for just a few more weeks
[02:13.72]because I am made out of shipwrecks, every twisted beam
[02:16.71]lost and found like you and me scattered out on the sea
[02:20.60]so come on let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
[02:25.61]and fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
[02:30.24]come on and sew us together, just some tattered rags stained forever
[02:34.88]we only have what we remember
[02:38.03]
[02:51.25]My throat it still tastes like house fire and salt water
[02:55.17]I wear this tide like loose skin, rock me to sea
[02:59.51]if we hold on tight we’ll hold each other together
[03:02.51]and not just be some fools rushing to die in our sleep
[03:06.27]all these machines will rust I promise, but we'll still be electric
[03:10.31]shocking each other back to life
[03:13.01]Your hand in mine, my fingers in your veins connected
[03:16.68]our bones grown together inside
[03:19.58]our hands entwined, your fingers in my veins connected
[03:23.46]our spines grown stronger in time
[03:27.37]because are church is made out of shipwrecks
[03:30.27]from every hull these rocks have claimed
[03:33.06]but we pick ourselves up, and try and grow better through the change
[03:37.43]so come on y'all and let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
[03:42.36]and fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
[03:46.99]come on and sew us together, were just tattered rags stained forever
[03:51.80]we only have what we remember
