lyrics

We will make it through
If it's all that we do
Dropped and so bruised

You're so bent and broken
Can't but narrowly see
In every way that matters
You're exactly like me
As we groan and twist away
From every moment of growth
Placing face in the tide
Of gutter swells to justify
The drowning we do
Filling mouth and nose
With shallow, trickling blue
If you can't stand
Just get your shakey knees under you
And I'll kneel by your side

Cuz I've been trying
Crawling on all fours
In the wind and the rain
Keeps coming down

We will make it through
It may be all that we do
Cuz even blood will dry up soon

You're so bent and broken
Can't but narrowly see
In every way that matters
You're exactly like me
As we groan and twist away
From every moment of growth
I won't be unkind
Cuz even with this ringing
Rattling 'round in my head
Calling out for more
Than just the bones and the bread
That we break each day
To make it through the struggle alone
I won't be a liar

Cuz I've been trying
Crawling on all fours
In the wind and the rain
Cuz even with all of this hollering out
From graves, and bottoms,
And bottomless gold
We know
The rain keeps coming down

We will make it through
It may be all that we do
Cuz time knows its truth, bruised fruit

Someone call a firing squad?
We have ways of making you talk
Secrets sold with expression props
Oh, what a dirty mind you've got

We will make it through
It may be all that we do
No body or soul too bruised
