The Quick & The Dead

Woke up this morning with a new face
As an Adam to a new race
As a butterfly in a hurricane
You turn to me like you're all alone
But I've got the bricks we need to build a home
For the quick and the dead

So shut your eyes, you had me at tragedy
We are broken, we are ghosts, we are free
We'll take it a day at a time, they haven't caught us yet
Look me up when you've found something real.

Draw me a picture where you and I
Sit as gods in a broken sky
Where through your pictures we look at life
As long as the wheels keep turning
I don't care who turns them
And sometimes it just helps not to know.

So shut your eyes, you had me at tragedy
We are broken, we are ghosts, we are free
We'll take it a day at a time, they haven't caught us yet
Look me up when you've found something real.

You and I
We are ghosts
We are broken
We are free.
