(Verse 1) Salt splits the cliff, wind carves the stone, Low hum breathing under the bone. Hands trade the dark for what they hold, No names on the plate, just warmth gone cold. (Pre-Chorus) Tide takes the questions… Tide takes the questions… (Chorus) Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… (Verse 2) Years stack like ribs beneath the floor, Kids learn the tune before the door. Knock once, knock twice, then hush descends, Smoke climbs the cracks where daylight ends. (Pre-Chorus) Tide takes the questions… Tide takes the questions… (Chorus) Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… (Bridge) Whoa-oh! Break the line! Whoa-oh! Let it bleed! Whoa-oh! Every heart’s a cave, every cave’s a need! Yeah! Crack the bread, crack the skin, Every stranger’s already in. (Verse 3) Buses roll past, headlights graze the cave, Kids chase the dark, never see the grave. Gulls cry sharp when the moon hangs low, Mist writes names the tide won’t show. (Final Chorus) Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… Mmm, brother… sister… …that won’t let go.
