lyrics

scream it out now
don’t save your loose tongue
from your last breath of your last lung
but keep your wings
we’ll need them this time
where we’re going is where we ache to be
drown the sea, we’re all made of sand
we’ve come to save the horizon
in the warmth and grace of all our sunset hands
today we’ll make it through the night
this is all we really loved
but always lost and could never keep
so we wash our skin on the settling tide
to bring ourselves back to life
dip your hands into the day
we’ll hang our paintings somewhere on the sky
like fixtures of romance
poems woven through these stars
forget the rights of wrongs
like old lovers from liars
just remember to breathe
keep all the stitches from our lips
to make a rope to save all the mothers from their faded faces
we’ve been on our knees for too long
bring back the spark to set all the passion on fire
I’ll bring the words, you bring the speech
we’ll sing the songs to save us all
I’ll bring the words, you bring the speech
burn together or die alone
we have nothing to lose
glory won’t wait for those who don’t make it all their own
so we remind ourselves that warmth is wonder
and we still have our bodies still left to ignite
remember lovers from liars
don’t forget to breathe (don’t forget to breathe)
keep all the lips and stitch up the fades on every mother (tie up all the faces)
don’t fear the change
forget to look back
just take what was
lay it to the wind
I’ll bring the words, you bring the speech
we’ll sing the songs to save us all
scream it out now with your loose tongue
from the last breath of your last lung
