Feather

drop the bones and make your stand
 if this means life
 we pull an answer from the sand
 and it's okay if you don't know what you'll become
 if we have to fade
 we'll fade out in the sun
 just pull this string
 unraveling kings
 we sew our own wings
 i trade my lines i trade my time
 for cities made of steel
 i try and dive while the sea's still alive
 keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
 new power in my hands
 crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
 to feed the future
 all the goddesses of death are dead
 one more time
 we pull a feather from her head
 like our fathers did we cut your heart away
 to place it on the scale
 and find out how you're made
 string by string
 unraveling kings
 we sew our own wings
 i trade my lines i trade my time
 for cities made of steel
 i try and dive while the sea's still alive
 keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
 new power in my hands
 crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
 to feed the future
 beat an ancient drum
 tombs and guns
 unbury your keys
 send the army in
 i've got a strong wind
 inside of me
 i trade my lines i trade my time
 for cities made of steel
 i try and dive while the sea's still alive
 keep my head down and pull back on the trigger
 new power in my hands
 i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
 i trade my lines i trade my time
 for cities made of steel
 i try and dive while the sea's still alive
 keep my head down and pull back on the shovel
 new power in my hands
 i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
 yeah
 i'm gonna crush it up, crush it up, crush it up
 to feed the future
