Lyrics

[Josh Scogin] You bet we fight till pressed against six feet Of distance and earth Yeah, we make mistakes that our fathers have made And my troubles come up from the earth My teeth, grit, fierce And I beg to you, understand, Grace is my name Tongues run amok and Fangs will breed on fangs So keep your secrets in the mattress And pray they don't escape This impossible act of building our bridges Much faster than they burn Stay 'Cause I can't afford distance It's shadowing my heart And what good is a sinner If we haven't got grace (Save the son) My troubles boulevard across the land (Save the son) They keep their secrets in the mattress (Save the son) Discard (Save the son) I'm trying to keep it in the right hands Medic, medic, medic I have given up all my weapons and I've headed home [Dan Smith (Listener)] Well, I can see the words inside your silence But I can't speak about your pain for you How long can you burn for anyways Turning over and back again with tongues ablaze Like, like lions without teeth hungry Staring at the forest with flames in our eyes Just talking with the trees If we can drift long enough, we'll be home Sails blown by the fire within, pushing me to you And you can live inside of me Sewn together Breaking and healing Growing and breaking again and again And you are a part of me You are my home, and I'm your home But I'm no place you'll want to be So I'm out here again, sparks hid behind my teeth I won't say a word for fear of failure spreading It takes some of us longer to get to our dead ends We have old blood stained with loose living Ran through charcoal hearts to make it red And we can be on fire again, you and I You want this? Well, say what you want, say what you mean We can talk lung to closed ear Head inside of hand, turning over again together Cut up for the cheap heat running through our veins And we can lay brick by broken brick, our ashes pushed in between And build this road back home to where we want to be We are not our own; we are the same [Josh Scogin] Let fangs give birth to fangs, but I can't walk away Let them breed Fangs give birth to fangs, but I can't walk away Let them breed
