The Cannon's Mouth Lyrics


I had all the pieces that I needed

Saw the places in between

You taught me to breathe it all in

And i stood waiting in your welcome shadow

With nothing but the dark below you

I could believe you were light

Into me

And you were the mortar underneath the keystone

Heir to all who could not breathe

You showed them the love in the lie

But I saw the tragedy of life that lingers

Slipping through the city's fingers

Brother, I waited too long

Into me

Into my waiting arms

Promise to meet me there

Help me to find the start

Help me to fill my heart

Into my waiting arms

Building the dream we shared

If I could find the start

If I could fill my heart

Higher, stone by stone

Hollow hope, empty home

Don't look down, boy

We must be the ones

Ashes by us, and it's done

It's your choice, saint or the best, boy

So give me the lightness of a life with no hope

The sight and sound as one, this new home

Tell me that you hear it too

Into me

I could see the end in each beginning

See enough to make the world sing

We heard the music in you

Into me

Into my waiting arms

Promise to meet me there

Help me to find the start

Help me to fill my heart

Into my waiting arms

Building the dream we shared

If I could find the start

If I could fill my heart

You have the choice, saint or the beast

Prove you can be force fed war and spit peace
