There Are Wrecking Balls Inside of Us

It hasn't poured this much as long as I remember, but I've been forgetting a lot

Sometimes you get used to scraping bottom

There are wrecking balls moving in these rooms forgotten

Tearing it all down around me. Taking little stabs at growing

Cutting my arms to spears making dreams and not knowing

And never going to those places I make myself see

I just pull up the covers, and try to get sleep while the grass grows on the streets

I am all alone, and you are all alone

I am all alone, you are all alone

I am all alone, and you are all alone

But we are all alone together

Because it's ok to be scared sometimes, and brave sometimes

And fail some times sometimes

And it's not possible to lose every time

We have the time. We have the time

We have the time. What we build could be anything

There are wrecking balls inside our hearts, inside our tongues and they are moving

They're swinging in our thoughts and fists, and they're smashing us together

But that's how we'll make it through

We'll use our hands and legs and guts and chains

And turn the ground with shovels and dig up old roots

Unforgiven mistakes our parents made that maybe we’ll make too

Build a fire and hammer out everything that we've obeyed

And make a plow to dig us through

Covered in gasoline burning with purpose

I am not alone, and you are not alone

I am not alone, and you are not alone

And we are not alone together

Because it's ok to be scared sometimes, and brave sometimes

And fail some times sometimes

It's not possible to lose every time

We have the time. What we build could be anything

We can go places we've never even thought of

There will never be exactly perfect seas to set sail on

So sister the water is waiting, and brother we all might drown

But if we dive on out together, and not just wonder if we'll ever grow

We'll be free forever, and stop all this wandering around

Free inside our hearts and in jars in the basements of our minds

And give our lives away to keep each other alive

But we never will be finished, and I'm ok, are you ok?

Ok, we'll swing our hearts around in our own ways

What I build could be anything

What you build could be anything

What we build could be anything, it could be anything anything

What I build could be anything

What you build could be anything

What we build together could be anything! We just have to build it
