Wooden Heart
We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of livin' and Since that first breath we'll need grace that we're never given, well Well I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts It's not only when these eyes are closed These lies are ropes and I tied them to my stomach But they hold this ship together tossed like leaves in this weather My dreams are sails that I point towards my true north Stretched thin over my rib bones and pray that it gets better But it won't, at least I don't believe it will so So I've built a wooden heart inside this iron ship To sail these blood red seas and find your coast Don't let these waves wash away your hopes This war ship is sinking and I still believe in anchors Pulling fistfuls of rotten wood from my heart, oh I still believe in saviours 'Cause we are all made out of shipwrecks, every single board Washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores So come on and let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief And fold our lives like crashing waves and run upon this beach Come on and sew us together, just some tattered rags stained forever We only have what we remember
Well I'm the barely living son of a woman and a man who barely made it But we're makin' it, taped together on borrowed crutches and new starts We all have the same holes in our hearts Everything falls apart at the exact same time it all comes together perfectly for the next step But my fear is this prison that I keep locked below the main deck I keep a key under my pillow and it's quiet and it's hidden And my hopes are weapons that I'm still learnin' how to use right But they're heavy and I'm awkward and I'm always runnin' out of fight Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com So I've carved a wooden heart Put it in this sinking ship hopin' it'd help me float for just a few more weeks But I am all made out of shipwrecks, every twisted beam Lost and found like you and me all scattered out on the seas So come on let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief And fold our lives like crashing waves and run upon this beach Come on and sew us together, we're just some tattered rags stained forever We only have what we remember
My throat it still tastes like house fire and salt water I wear this tide like loose skin, come on and rock me to sea If we hold on tight we'll hold each other together And not just be some fools rushin' to die in our sleep While these machines will rust, I promise, but we'll still be electric Shockin' each other back to life Your hand in mine My fingers and your veins connected Our bones grown together in time Our hands entwine and my fingers and your veins connect And our spines grown stronger inside 'Cause I know that our church is all made out of shipwrecks From every hull these rocks have claimed But we pick ourselves up, try and grow better with this change So come on and let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief And fold our lives like crashing waves and run upon this beach Come on and sew us together, we're just some tattered rags stained forever We only have what we remember
