Electric President - All the Distant Ships lyrics

It pa**ed 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
