We break things that have not been broken
Because we believe that everything broken
Goes back together
Human beings are a thing of carelessness
We throw things that shine up into the air
Just to watch it linger and catch the sunlight
Then in crashes and shatters
Gracefully slicing our skin into perfect lines of symmetrical irresponsibility
It's just enough pain to make us hurt
Hurt enough to realize our mistakes
But the scars aren't deep enough to remind us
For the time to come
Because one day the sun will be shining bright
And we'll hold that pretty glass structure of
Hope and happiness,
Completion, complexity,
Danger, dignity,
Strength and solitude
And we'll throw it up into the air
Just to watch it shine
Even when it shines just a bright in our own two hands

We break things that have not been broken
Because we believe that everything broken
Goes back together
Human beings are a thing of carelessness
We throw things that shine up into the air
Just to watch it linger and catch the sunlight
Then in crashes and shatters
Gracefully slicing our skin into perfect lines of symmetrical irresponsibility
It's just enough pain to make us hurt
Hurt enough to realize our mistakes
But the scars aren't deep enough to remind us
For the time to come
Because one day the sun will be shining bright
And we'll hold that pretty glass structure of
Hope and happiness,
Completion, complexity,
Danger, dignity,
Strength and solitude
And we'll throw it up into the air
Just to watch it shine
Even when it shines just a bright in our own two hands
