Building Better Bridges

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

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 confusebeing used

With giving 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

Amp

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

Our heart burns broken at the ends

They fail us

Keep building

My lungs are wax inside my ribs

You're burning

I'm still breathing

This back breaks walked on carry friends

Can't stop now

Still working

Your life's like rain drops on my tongue

I believe you

Keep raining

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

Our hearts are abridged

Let's build bridges to each other

So this river won't take us under

So we don't take ourselves under

Our lives are a bridge

Let's build bridges to each other

And pray we don't go under

Oh these careless waters

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

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

Our hearts are abridged

Let's build bridges to each other

So this river won't take us under

So we don't take ourselves under
