the republic of wolves - wood/bricks lyrics

Loading...

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 draped around our broken necks

and i will 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
but with no foundation underneath
it crumbled right back to a smoldering heap

and we will 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

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

your 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
