Sinking Ships To Burning Cars Lyrics & Chords By Mary Jane Kelly
We all feast on the heart, we drown the soul,
and we crucify everything we ever stood for.
Bridges never burn all the way,
and there's always one link that doesn't break.
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to have the strength to write this song,
so here it is for you, fractured, detached, afraid and alone.
We let them pour our ashes into the sea,
and we willingly stumbled upon their shores and filled their cities.
As bedroom rebels jumping from sinking ships to burning cars,
we know nothing of pushing on through the rain.
Our new year's day is just a cold winter's morning.
Is this where our ending will begin?
Self-prescribed fate spent in their gutters and bins.
I can't say our rebel hearts are beating
and that tomorrow, we'll seize the day.
Our desire bleeds regret we never thought would leak.
The mirror truth shows we built these teeth and placed them in our cities.
Our path of destruction can be seen long after
the sun sets on our forgotten streets.
Summer won't come for me.
This winter won't be kind.
The neon glow of smoke stacks is my new found rising sun, tonight.
