Buttons Lyrics by Beerjacket

Silver Cords

0

Our buttons pull closed our coats
Most sink but ours always float
'Cause our home is built on flesh and bone
Hours vanish down the sides of our wrists
Magpies dress the walls of our nest
'Cause we sold the things that kill the soul

Our red thread knots the heart to the head
It's the twine that binds our lives
Flowers that bled are blooming instead
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Like the button you seek but can't find

Unburdened of the ties round the throats
Folds make our family float
Cause our gold has no guilt at all

Our red thread knots the heart to the head
It's the twine that binds our lives
Flowers that bled are blooming instead
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Like the button you dream with at night

We're sewn like a blanket of snow
We're the movement below the waves
We're stone growing out of the core
We're the light from beyond the cave

Our red thread knots the heart to the head
It's the twine that binds our lives
Flowers that bled are blooming instead
You were always on my mind
You are always on my mind
Like the button you seek but can't find

We're sewn like a blanket of snow
We're the movement below the waves
We're stone growing out of the core
We're the light from beyond the cave
We're sewn like a blanket of snow
We're the movement below the waves
We're stone growing out of the core
We're the light from beyond the cave
Like the button that's lost when it's saved
