lyrics

the bricks might breathe again

god only knows when we seem to be amused
god only knows and we crawl back
backs are caving in and the bricks might breathe again
and we hold stumbling breathe
and we wait so patiently
stand on bended knee

the only thing we’ve owned
is a matchbox filled with hope
and at the end of the road
all the numbers line up
we swell with rusted hope
along the dotted line we grope
for a pen to sign away
till the closing bell rings
cash tethered tooth and nail

we take our hit so patiently
fault lines crack entirely
the wheels beneath our feet turn ceaselessly
to pull us down the line
I know I sold my sins up to know

boxes of lint and a suitcase dented in
bricks are coughing caving in
and the dust that climbs our lungs might do us in
it sinks in ink to line the checks
and the stop clock becomes our god
and we wait to patiently
stand on bended knee

we take our hit so patiently
fault lines crack entirely
the wheels beneath our feet turn ceaselessly
to pull us down the line
I know I sold my sins up to know
