Wooden Heart Lyrics - Singles - Listener

We're all born to broken people on their most honest day of living 

And since that first breath we'll need grace that we've never given 

I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts 

And it's not only when these eyes are closed 

These lies are ropes that I tie down in my stomach, 

But they hold this ship together tossed like leaves in this weather 

And my dreams are sails that I point towards my true north, 

Stretched thin over my rib bones, and pray that it gets better 

But it won't, at least I don't believe it will 

So I've built a wooden heart inside this iron ship, 

To sail these blood red seas and find your coast 

Don't let these waves wash away your hopes 

This war-ship is sinking, and I still believe in anchors 

Pulling fist fulls of rotten wood from my heart, I still believe in saviors 

But I know that we are all made out of shipwrecks, every single board 

Washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores 

So come on and let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief 

And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach 

Come on and sew us together, tattered rags stained forever 

We only have what we remember

I am the barely living son of a woman and man who barely made it 

But we're making it taped together on borrowed crutches and new starts 

We all have the same holes in our hearts 

Everything falls apart at the exact same time 

That it all comes together perfectly for the next step 

But my fear is this prison, that I keep locked below the main deck 

I keep a key under my pillow, it's quiet and it's hidden 

And my hopes are weapons that I'm still learning how to use right 

But they're heavy and I'm awkward, always running out of fight 

So I've carved a wooden heart, put it in this sinking ship 

Hoping it would help me float for just a few more weeks 

Because I am made out of shipwrecks, every twisted beam 

Lost and found like you and me scattered out on the sea 

So come on let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief 

And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach 

Come on and sew us together, just some tattered rags stained forever 

We only have what we remember

My throat it still tastes like house fire and salt water 

I wear this tide like loose skin, rock me to sea 

If we hold on tight we'll hold each other together 

And not just be some fools rushing to die in our sleep 

All these machines will rust I promise, but we'll still be electric 

Shocking each other back to life 

Your hand in mine, my fingers in your veins connected 

Our bones grown together in time 

Our hands entwined, your fingers in my veins braided 

Our spines grown stronger inside 

Because are church is made out of shipwrecks 

From every hull these rocks have claimed 

But we pick ourselves up, and try and grow better through the change 

So come on and let's wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief 

And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach 

Come on and sew us together, were just tattered rags stained forever 

We only have what we remember
