07. Building Better Bridges

Wooden Heart
by Listener

       
Lyrics:

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 other's hands and lives, let’s all smush 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 other's shorelines
We’re all bound with veins and hopes, we are not each other's 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 me to 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 and not make any more new ghosts
Show me your life, wide and bright, I hope that patience fills the seams
Keep what’s inside, all 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 burned 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 from carrying 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
