Building Better Bridges - Listener

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
