Unmade

Lyrics

When we were young Our words were innocent - Whiter than snow Awkward and slow Now when we speak We risk an avalanche But that's not enough now To reroute our plans I believe that we've got it wrong, got it wrong We'll realize when it's said and done, said and done That in our words we've lost so much more Than we've ever won The aftermath Is cracked wood where fences stood And the broken bones of our childhood In our trembling fear We put words inside God's mouth We cover our tracks And get so proud of ourselves We get so proud of ourselves We get so proud of ourselves When we get away I believe that we've got it wrong, got it wrong We'll realize when it's said and done, said and done That in our words we've lost so much more Than we've ever won It's in our nature to complicate But in the end it's the casualties That carry all the weight
