All the Distant Ships Lyrics by Electric President

The Violent Blue

2010

[Intro]
It passed through me
Into you
Used our blood as the glue
[Verse 1]
Their hands pulled me into the earth
Where I laid until they figured my worth
Then they moved on to you
Said that we would have to do
[Verse 2]
The words fell from my mouth
And stained our new ground
And I called out to you
But you told me you were through
And we'd meet again once the voices were gone
[Verse 3]
I woke up near the sea
With the sky bruised over scrap metal ground
And all the distant ships
Were sinking
And I wondered how you were
[Verse 4]
And as the sun burned my skin
I watched you swimming
And as your body drifted in
I sat and told you everything
[Verse 5]
About how I climbed on everything
That they used to tear us on down
And all of the air we breathed
Just helped me choke a little more down
Now this is where we are
[Verse 6]
The sky is spinning around, around
We'll grind our teeth from the sound, the sound
We'll watch the spectators drown, oh they'll drown
While I dig through the bones of all this
And find all the things our heads missed
And strap them across my scraped fists
Like using a crane to scratch an itch
One that never goes away
[Outro]
And all of the world will drink
As the clouds come pouring on down
And we'll dream of distant things
While they strap our legs to the ground
'Cause this is where we are
Yeah, this is where we are
Yeah, this is where we are
Yeah, this is where we are
