Yaki Margulies - Heaven We Build

I gotta find me a better way
We’ve gotta find ourselves a better way
There’s a heaven we build on our backs
With stars in our skulls that shine through the cracks
There’s a wisdom we often ignore
But you can hear it cry out with your ear to the storm
There’s a river made of scars on skin
The fever goes out when the breathing comes in
We turn into water so we don’t get burned
Then we go for a swim and we never return
I kept the TV on when I left
So you could hear some voices if you awoke
Machines whisper in the dark
In time all things fall apart
The dawn stands outside your window
It starts to hurt when I love you
There’s a party where everyone’s dull
They maim the hors d’oeuvres and their eyes are just holes
There’s a woman who’s stunning and bright
And they feed off her glow like bugs on a light
They say they love her with their sharp teeth
Then they tear her apart as they call her a thief
When they’re done they lumber back to their dens
They say, that was fun, but I won’t do it again
I kept the TV on when I left
So you could hear some voices if you awoke
Machines whisper in the dark
In time all things fall apart
The dawn stands outside your window
It starts to hurt when I love you
There’s a heaven we built on our backs
But our shoulders are sore and our standards are lax
There’s a wisdom we often ignore
But you could hear it cry out if you listened some more
There’s a fire we build when we crash
It can light up the night or make everything ash
We turn into water so we no longer burn
Then we go for a swim and we never return
We follow the river and we never return
I gotta find me a better way
We’ve gotta find ourselves a better way
