Broken Bones

These broken bones

Won't build a ship.

This much I know,

And the rest, the rest I will learn.

We climb mountains to buy ourselves time,

Only to find to our surprise,

That the higher we climb,

The further we have to fall.

You'll fall with me.

I turn to face

Your cold embrace.

I will go down with this ship,

As captain and crew I have no choice.

We climb mountains to buy ourselves time,

Only to find to our surprise,

That the higher we climb,

The further we have to fall.

You'll fall with me.

I turn to face

Your cold embrace.

Your heart will have a hard time,

Not melting in our arms.

And your heart will have a hard time,

Not melting in our arms.

I turn to face

The cold embrace of some forgotten sea

As we climb mountains to buy ourselves time.
