Two carpenters of failing worth
We found ourselves in disrepair but didn't care
So, we took the wood from that old tree
Built a coffin on the sea
With flowers strewn across the deck
And sails draped 'round our broken necks

And I (and I) will be taken apart (will be taken apart) when it's over

Our ruined hands collecting dust
Uneven loves that drove us into our bodies
We found the bricks from our old house
Tried to put them back together
But with no foundation underneath
It crumbled right back to a smoldering heap

And we (we) will be taken apart (will be taken apart) when it's over

So, we gave every flaw in our crooked construction a name
(so, we went in our house and resolved)
And accepted that nothing was meant to hold up for this long
(that it goes into space with it)

When you felt the sun come alive in your ribs
You were dying just to try it
As the sutures and stitches that held you together were splitting
And it made such a glorious sound
Your wire strings slowly disappeared
Well, I have been emptied of every fear
The things that we had but never replaced
We're falling asleep and forgetting their names

Well, I pried myself into pieces and scattered them over the wreckage
(we fell short and went down with the walls of this house)
And you were still shaking your head, holding onto your nails
(and choked in the dust under rubble and charcoal)
And every splinter of timber like thunder inside of my shuddering frame
(we sailed through freezing fire and remnants of what we once were)
Says: I'm gonna pay, yeah, we're all gonna pay when it's over
(when it’s over)
