All the Distant Ships

	It passed through me into you
	Used our blood as the glue
	Their hands pulled me into the earth
	Where I laid until they figured my worth
	Then they moved on to you
	Said that we would have to do
	The words fell from my mouth
	And stained our new ground
	And I called out to you
	But you told me you were through
	And we'd meet again once the voices were gone
	I woke up near the sea
	With the sky bruised over scrap metal ground
	And all the distant ships were sinking
	And I wondered how you were
	And as the sun burned my skin
	I watched you swimming
	And as your body drifted in
	I sat and told you everything
	About how I climbed on everything that they used to tear us on down
	And all of the air we breathed just helped me choke a little more down
	Now this is where we are
	The sky is spinning around, around
	We'll grind our teeth from the sound, the sound
	We'll watch the spectators drown, oh, they'll drown
	While I dig through the bones of all this
	And find all the things our heads missed
	And strap them across my scraped fists
	Like using a crane to scratch an itch
	One that never goes away
	And all of the world will drink as the clouds come pouring on down
	And we'll dream of distant things while they strap our legs to ground
	'cause this is where we are
	Yeah, this is where we are
