Charlie Barnes - More Stately Mansions Lyrics

""Heavy of heart and torn asunder We shuffle on along this knife's edge As wide as any tightrope All cut to rags and ribbons Lost at sea like all who've sailed her Glory be to our shared failures Stiches sewn over broken Bones pushing out from under skin Wound about a frame not built to last All the houses we've built that have too many windows to be safe All the times that we've worn ourselves so thin in lies that we create All the things we hope we will be remembered for when we are gone All the secrets behind locked doors we couldn't have told anyone Lost at sea like all who've sailed her Glory be to our shared failures Stiches sewn over broken Bones All the cities we've made from scratch inside the basement of this house All the wounds hardly stitched that any sword could rip inside from out""
