night at arms - no bird sing lyrics

verse:
should i learn to sink before i learn to float
suffering is hope and none of us can cope
contentment is stuffing little rocks inside of my throat
with no signs of revolt
i broke down the walls
burned down the drawbridge
jumped over the moat
while the serfs all applauded
fought ice ‘ fought snow
until april’s rain unthawed ‘em both
and left me insane and broke
to nap on a peaceful coast

chorus:
can’t take what we don’t show ya
can’t k!ll what we love most
put bruises on our shoulders
bl–dy up that pretty nose now
no telling how dangerous it is
til you put that poison on your lips
each touch as simple as a kiss
each kiss will bring us all closer

to the fact that obstacles and cracks
litter every path ‘ ain’t no turning back
i can’t work my mask ‘ loosen up these straps
i never chose to be this close to my mishaps
you don’t understand ‘ i don’t want your plan ‘
i just wanna build the muscle memory that’s necessary to devise a way to break the chain on the gate of the cemetery
days chasing me in waves
i won’t let ‘em win
never let ‘em catch me coming out my skin
sitting in the sand ‘ blowing in the wind
feeling every step from heel to toe
the twin sets of my footprints
never did exist
swear i saw ‘em is there something that i missed
something i insisted on becoming before the running became a subst-tute for bliss

bridge:
wishing wells seem to say
they want the easy way out
but they need to pay back what they didn’t win
filthy has never been
so close to cleanliness

verse:
oars on the surface of the water ‘ my arms are soar
i’m cold ‘ i’m a monster ‘ so i’m told
could you make me warm?
it’s wet ‘ under feet
try to run ‘ but i sink
it’s a dream right? that’s what it seems like
couldn’t be right ‘ i don’t mean no alarm
hidden in the soft creases of my palm
lines are deciding where they will begin
after every end something starts to stir
strange as this has been ‘ everything’s a blur
wishing wells seem to say they want the easy way
but what they mean to say is things fall apart ‘ leave ‘em be
thieves’ll come to steal the seasons ‘ rob the lucid from the dream
just beneath the broken pieces are the sequences between
they can keep ‘em ‘ i don’t need ‘em
there not mine ‘ i’ll be fine
left behind to find my way the only way i’ll ever find it
love the ocean ‘ be an island
be the sea ‘ i’ll be j-pan
come with me ‘ let’s leave this place and take some secrets to replant
build a bridge ‘ burn it down
learn to swim ‘ flirt with drowning
break the crooked road in half and take the path we just found out about
