Listener - Building Better Bridges 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 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 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, 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
