lyrics

you've already jumped
nothing shattered

touch your chin, your jaw
your constellation face
you're intact

a solid that we never knew anyway
packs up, leaves us rattling around

impossibly small, stiff teeth
noiseless

here are your hands, your pants, your pants pockets, your hands
make use of them

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRUST
THE GROUND IS GONNA HOLD US

the tenderness that you reserve
for pictures of yourself very young

the time you showed me garbage, saplings
so so many birds
we were very, very young

seeing faces of the people that you used to know in everyone else
keeps them looking young

the song, the sound, the frog in mud asleep
all of them, very very young

the fall that you have already begun
make use of it

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRUST
THE GROUND IS GONNA HOLD US

the house you feared, though fire in it's closet - GONE
the shadow of a baseball card collection in the basement - GONE
the mother of your friend who spit out all her teeth one afternoon - IS GONE
the signs we saw, we surely saw, all of us are - EVERYWHERE GONE

take a candle
light the way
climb up

take a candle
light the way
climb up

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRUST
THE GROUND IS GONNA HOLD US (x3)

these walls are paper thin and everyone hears every little sound
you will not know what you have lost until it's already been found
roots you have, they have already been planted in the dark, cold, thin, wet ground
everyone's a voyeur and they're watching me
watch them watch me right now

WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TRUST
THE GROUND IS GONNA HOLD US

it's gone gone gone gone gone gone
it's gone

it's gone gone gone gone gone gone
it's gone.
