Lyrics

It was a false sense of security It was a hard line not to take And to escape the threat of mutiny It was an easy thing to say Keep placing bandages on our severed limbs These dams will break, drown out the sounds of promises Safe for now you rest easy You are safe for now Spread your seeds on the fields of Our future affair with fertile ground We have reasons to expect this temporary fix To outlive all our kids, so rest easy Because you are safe for now And for these self-inflicted injuries Every one of us will wear All the scars of our lost century Through another century of repair We will lock our doors from this day forward Surely things have changed in my neighborhood Safe for now you rest easy You are safe for now Spread your seeds on the fields of Our future affair with fertile ground We have reasons to expect this temporary fix To outlive all our kids, so rest easy Because you are safe for now Putting my ears to the floor as these board crack and splinter Spread and make room for what's brewing below I consider my part in these walls that have risen To protect us from things that were ours to control We always come back We always return And we reunite With our broken worlds Too soon we are to forgive And too soon to forget Until it shoves you in a corner And swings and connects Safe for now you rest easy You are safe for now Spread your seeds on the fields of Our future affair with fertile ground We have reasons to expect this temporary fix To outlive all our kids, so rest easy We have reasons to expect Temporary fix Outlive all our kids, so rest easy Because you are safe for now
