Porcelain Lyrics

The soil's alive, veins running deep

Crimson rivers in twisted heaps

Branches like arms, reaching wide

Gnarled fingers tangled up inside

The sky was shattered, glass in air

Falling down without a prayer

We tried to speak, but nothing fit

Mouths like broken porcelain split

Who's gonna glue this mess together

Who's gonna find the missing seams

The ground is groaning, and we're no different

Our ghosts tearing at the beams

Who's gonna glue this mess together

When all the frames collapse and break

We let it twist, we let it linger

And now there's no one left awake

The air is thick, a hanging haze

Mirrors bend and stretch in daze

Fruits are hanging like severed heads

The ground's a blanket, painted red

I tried to pull the pieces back

But every snap left one more crack

A spiral staircase with no end

Just winding down to where we bend

Who's gonna find the thread that binds us

Who's gonna see in all this dark

The sky is reeling, and we're no different

The ghosts tearing us apart

Who's gonna find the thread that binds us

When every knot slips from our hands

We let it twist, we let it crumble

And now there's nothing left but sand

I remember faces in the leaves

Eyes that blink and won't believe

But winds blew in, the masks fell off

And all we had was broken cloth

I tried to patch the holes with light

But ghosts swallowed every fight

Now we're standing in the wreckage bare

The only thing that's left is air

Who's gonna stitch this nightmare over

Who's gonna chase what runs away

The sky is broken, and we're no different

The branches twisting where they lay

Who's gonna stitch this nightmare over

The ground is cracking under feet

We watched it break, we watched it vanish

And now there's nothing left to keep

Bare branches twist against the cold

Nothing grows, and nothing's whole

The ground is yawning, ghosts sprawl

And we're just refrain, nothing at all
