lyrics

Love is a Chisel

Love is a chisel, we are all its stone
You can hear each knock and whistle
As were whittled down to bone
And I’m making a collection with my favorite broken pieces
Built up into castles, watch the water
Rush right in and wash it away
Bow your head and start again

We are blood, we are bread, we are glass, we are wine
I remember your name, do you remember mine

Took a trip to Jersey City, slept too little drank too much
Threw myself into the ocean to sober myself up
And it’s not that I’m unhappy, I just need a place to go
When I get pressed against the edges of all I want
And what I know gets washed away
I fold my hands and start again

We are blood, we are bread, we are glass, we are wine
I remember your name, do you remember mine

Oh my wayfaring friend with your feet hot from the walk
There’s a creek with cool water up around the block
These lines that we carry will cripple us with their weight
But they also keep us healthy, singing all the way
