lyrics

Well, I see you there all too aware of the fact that life’s not fair
You’ve been down this road before as you stand and fight your war
As you lie asleep you can’t help but dream of all the things you’ve seen
Those things that you adore well they can’t wait forevermore

You put hammer to nail to build a boat to take the weight of your mind
So you can sail and lose yourself upon the sea
You look up to the sky, gauge the wind so you can cast out your line
Out of reach of the land where you’re content just to be

Well, I see you there with your short, cropped hair and not a breath to spare
As all your broken bones and bullet wounds begin to heal
And so you run with your loaded gun and you wont stop ‘till someone
pulls it from your grip ‘cause there’s no other way for you to live

You put hammer to nail to build a boat to take the weight of your mind
So you can sail and lose yourself upon the sea
You look up to the sky, gauge the wind so you can cast out your line
Out of reach of the land where you’re content just to be

You put hammer to nail to build a boat to take the weight of your mind
So you can sail and lose yourself upon the sea
You look up to the sky, gauge the wind so you can cast out your line
Out of reach of the land where you’re content just to be
