The Distant Blue - Architects

That distant blue, that’s me and you

It was from there that we all grew

Framed in space, our first home

All those beating hearts that were made of stone

We were disaster built from flesh and bone

Their bodies made a mountain, a ladder to the stars

When they reached up to the sun, it only left them with scars

All the saints and the sinners will reap what they sow

So they stood back and watched their bitterness grow

They couldn’t tell the cure from disease

They no longer knew their want from their need

They fucked the future, forgot the past

Nothing built was built to last

A common ground, now we see

That connected us like the land and the sea

That distant blue, that’s me and you

It was from there that we all grew

Framed in space, our first home

All those beating hearts that were made of stone

We were disaster built from flesh and bone

Caught in a web, don’t struggle free

This is all we’ve got, so just let it be

If we save ourselves, we’ll feel so small

We’ll ask ourselves why we cared at all

Caught in a web, don’t struggle free

This is all we’ve got, so just let it be

If we save ourselves, we’ll feel so small

We’ll ask ourselves why we cared at all

Why we cared at all
