We were born among the flood

We were born among the violet threaded flame

We were born just because

And then we spread out across a [Transposition needed] plane

You were born among a flood

You were born under an endless array

We dug our histories in the mud

And then a crescent swept across the stars

And gave it all a name

We might never find love

We might never find life here

We might never find love

We might never find life here

We can warm our hands

On a pile of all the chain letters you've received

When we burn them in a barrel behind your house

We can take our chance

On the promise of the famine or the plague

When it comes and it comes it'll lower the count

We might never find love

We might never find life here

We might never find love

We might never find life here

You may say there's no reason

In answer to what's all this for

But in your room I hear you singing

Behind a closed door

And in your mind there is a being

Who is going to keep score

Which helps you sleep when you are thinking

'bout the people worth crying for

About the people worth crying for

About the people worth crying for

We can warm our hands

We can warm our hands

We can warm [x5] our hands

We can warm [x5] our hands

We might never find love

We might never find life here

We might never find love

We might never find life here
