	We’re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living
	And since that first breath we’ll need grace that we’ve never given
	I've been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts
	And it's not only when these eyes are closed
	These lies are ropes that I tie down in my stomach,
	But they hold this ship together tossed like leaves in this weather
	And my dreams are sails that I point towards my true north,
	Stretched thin over my rib bones, and pray that it gets better
	But it won’t, at least I don’t believe it will
	So I've built a wooden heart inside this iron ship,
	To sail these blood red seas and find your coast
	Don’t let these waves wash away your hopes
	This war-ship is sinking, and I still believe in anchors
	Pulling fist fulls of rotten wood from my heart, I still believe in saviors
	But I know that we are all made out of shipwrecks, every single board
	Washed and bound like crooked teeth on these rocky shores
	So come on and let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
	And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
	Come on and sew us together, tattered rags stained forever
	We only have what we remember
	I am the barely living son of a woman and man who barely made it
	But we’re making it taped together on borrowed crutches and new starts
	We all have the same holes in our hearts
	Everything falls apart at the exact same time
	That it all comes together perfectly for the next step
	But my fear is this prison, that I keep locked below the main deck
	I keep a key under my pillow, it’s quiet and it’s hidden
	And my hopes are weapons that I’m still learning how to use right
	But they’re heavy and I’m awkward, always running out of fight
	So I’ve carved a wooden heart, put it in this sinking ship
	Hoping it would help me float for just a few more weeks
	Because I am made out of shipwrecks, every twisted beam
	Lost and found like you and me scattered out on the sea
	So come on let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
	And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
	Come on and sew us together, just some tattered rags stained forever
	We only have what we remember
	My throat it still tastes like house fire and salt water
	I wear this tide like loose skin, rock me to sea
	If we hold on tight we’ll hold each other together
	And not just be some fools rushing to die in our sleep
	All these machines will rust I promise, but we'll still be electric
	Shocking each other back to life
	Your hand in mine, my fingers in your veins connected
	Our bones grown together in time
	Our hands entwined, your fingers in my veins braided
	Our spines grown stronger inside
	Because are church is made out of shipwrecks
	From every hull these rocks have claimed
	But we pick ourselves up, and try and grow better through the change
	So come on and let’s wash each other with tears of joy and tears of grief
	And fold our lives like crashing waves and run up on this beach
	Come on and sew us together, were just tattered rags stained forever
	We only have what we remember

	We' re all born to broken people on their most honest day of living
	And since that first breath we' ll need grace that we' ve never given
	I' ve been haunted by standard red devils and white ghosts
