The Castle Builders La Dispute

Now speak of anger
Forget all the fears you've kept about
Love and sex and death and faith
Erased, or swinging sweet from around her neck
And between her breasts
Let every lonely body finally break its fear of flesh and say
"How strange it must've been
Back when we shook at the sight of sweat."
Let our worries wander out like water streaming from a spring
And sing of all the things our heads have failed to ruin
There's so much they have failed to ruin yet

Bright as lightning, loud as thunder
We'll move all the hurt aside to let love sustain our passions
And move up and onward
We are not our losses, we are only the extent to which we love

So build a home for your family, and build a castle for your friends
Now set their beds with sheets and blankets
Keep them safe until the end
I've felt the damage and burn from the fallout
My love failed but theirs prevailed
My friends, I'm only flesh and bone
But I won't let you die alone

So leave our hearts at the foot of the mountain
Let our burdens be locked in the stone
If you will help me roll it upward
I won't let you die alone
