Song lyrics

A sinking ship, an awkward kiss,
A chance to set things straight,
The kind of hurt that burns and burns
Like fires we can't contain

We hole up in a shelter made of bones and ice,
And there we'll wait
To start again
With steady hands,
This time nothing gets in our way,
But as we peer a little closer
what do we see?

[Chorus:]
A crack in the surface,
A flaw in the plan,
(Plans we made together,
Almost buried in the sand)
A cadence imperfect,
Like a building condemned
(Can we indemnify ourselves
If we don't face
What we're against?)

A promise kept, the dirt unswept,
A poorly worn disguise,
A child unloved that then grows up
To love what we despise

We're broken but still breathing,
We are wounded but we are healing,
We pick up right where we left off,
Breathe on the ashes that remain
So that these coals may become fire
To guide our way...

[Chorus]

I walk on wounds
That seldom prove to slow me down,
I laugh this constant pain away
So you can't tell
But there it lies under the smiles,
It drains me mile after mile
But seldom proves to slow me down,
Here I go, here I go...

Should we just hold on to
What remains of
what we thought was lost?
But it's just...

[Chorus]
