At The End Of The Day
Old Gray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My lungs are empty
and i'm trapped beneath ice and snow.
where my words are spoken
through broken teeth that chatter
so shatter my frozen heart
so shatter watch these bones as they fall apart

we'll stand as tall as mountains
with our arms reaching towards the west
we'll talk of love and all that fuels
and find the courage to scream

bury me with the great ships at the bottom of the sea
and let these waves wash over us so we can finally see that

we are not alone.
there's so much more for us
despite the distance
we're still one at heart





i'm afraid of the future
but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts

Lyrics:

My lungs are empty and I’m trapped beneath ice and snow, where my words are spoken through broken teeth that chatter. So shatter my frozen heart; watch these bones as they fall apart. We’ll stand as tall as mountains, with our arms reaching towards the west. We’ll talk of love and all that fuels us and find the courage to scream: “Bury me with the great ships at the bottom of the sea and let these waves wash over us so we can finally see that we are not alone. There’s so much more for us; despite the distance, we’re still one at heart.” I’m afraid of the future but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts. And I'm afraid of the future but I have sutures to mend our broken hearts.
