Cobbled out of all the mismatched pieces
Plastic soldiers in the lost and found
Turned sideways in a fit of treason
Split open at the speed of sound

All hands brace for impact
No flinching, full contact
They'll say that they broke us
We're still breathing now focus...

By ourselves we tend to buckle under pressure
At least together we anticipate the fall
Locked our arms and lashed our bodies to the masthead
We've begged for less but we were not prepared to crawl

In our haste we abandoned reason
Our better angels never had a chance
They tend to filter out what's good and decent
And stand above us with an arrogant stance

All hands brace for impact
No flinching, full contact
They'll say that they broke us
We're still breathing now focus...

on the fact that we are both in this together
My love you know that I did not intend to stay
A second more than I was absolutely needed
A shameful truth, you see I've come a long way
