Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship? - Breadcrumbs lyrics

Well I've become lazy with words But you remained able with swords To cut our conversation short Before we finish our hard work We're perfect pruners grown But our shears aren't made of sticks nor stones Just words torn from skin and bone Our kingdom is perfect Our kingdom is perfect Well I've taught a man to fish before And that, my friend, was such a bore Well I would fish them stars for you Yes I would fish these skies for you If it rots in the wrapper, does it mean the same thing? If it's stuck to begin with, does this wish have wings? Revealing(?) feathers one by one Like he loves me, well He loves me not I've been down this path before So don't forget your breadcrumbs I've been down this path before So don't forget your breadcrumbs We can lead a horse to a wishing well But that don't make it drink And that don't make it wish for this compa**, for a map To find its own way back again next time Because where will we be next time? And you can drag a dead horse to the water But that don't make it float Make a fire with its body, and hope this smoke don't choke Fashion a fancy coat from its skin, and we can huddle within And maybe this horse's ghost will ride on our coattails for a change Because one thing's for sure, yes one thing's for sure We're not riding on its back anymore Sometimes we abandon those we love Sometimes we abandon those we love out of love Sometimes we abandon those we love out of love for ourselves It's not the first time, it's the last time That I'll go down this path with you It's not the first time, it's the last time That I'll go down this path with you It's not the first time, it's the last time That I'll go down this path with you It's not the first time, it's the last time That I'll go down this path with you These breadcrumbs are burning holes in the soles of my shoes I turn back, nothing to win, nothing to lose
