JUSTIN PHILIP BROOKS

Verse 1

Bring your ax, your nails, and wood

and let’s rebuild what was misunderstood

Please don’t ask, I know you should

But let’s pretend I gave all that I could

 

Chorus 1

And as the lonely fears sharpen their blades

I prepare for the sting of my life

So let’s not waste time on broken promises made

In the dark I see a light

Thank you and goodnight

 

Verse 2

We dig our trench, and fire our guns

but when the smoke clears nobody has won

Let us wave our flags of white

and reconcile under the dawns morning light

 

Chorus 2

The armies of doubt will try to wage their war

Here they come, we’re in their line of sight

But we’ve come this far, farther than ever before

In the dark I see a light

Thank you and goodnight
