Two carpenters of failing worth
We found ourselves in disrepair
But didn't care
So we took the wood
from that old tree
Built a coffin on the sea
Flowers strewn across the deck
Sails drape around our broken necks
And I'll (And I'll) be taken
apart when it's over
Our ruined hands
collecting dust
Uneven loves that drove
us into our bodies
But we found the bricks
from our old house
Tried to put them
back together
With no foundation
underneath
It crumbled right back
to a smoldering heap
And We'll (And We'll) be taken
apart when it's over
So we gave every flaw in
our crooked construction a name
And accepted that nothing
was meant to hold up for this long
---- x2
When you felt the
sun come alive in your ribs
You were dying just to try it
As the sutures and stitches that
held you together were splitting
And it made such a glorious sound
G--Bm-D- x2
You wire strings
slowly disappear
Well I have been emptied
of every fear
The things that we had
but never replaced
We're falling asleep and
forgetting the names
Well I pried myself into pieces and
scattered them over the wreckage
And you were still shaking your
head holding on to your nails
And every splinter of timber like
thunder inside of my shuddering frame
Says I'm gonna pay yeah we're all gonna
pay when it's over (when it's over)
