Bricks & Mortar
burning bridges all my life
never expected you`d swim to shore
`cause daydreams don`t come alive
and there was nothing I wanted more
life didn`t prepare me for
wonderful things walking through my door
laying down bricks and mortar
but I never finish what I start
usually drawn and quartered
a morbid, incomplete work of art
safe cliches, I fall apart
just a lonely, unloved bleeding heart
building up this foundation
you can`t have roots without a garden
or lightless constellations
what once was exiled is now pardoned
and this heart that was guarded
is once again wondrously ardent
now my space keeps expanding
but my planets aren`t moving away
and the view is outstanding
we only get closer every day
finding out how we portray
the dark parts we`d rather throw away
and through all the crooked steps
there`s been one unwavering reason
to correct all my missteps
even through the rainiest seasons
the one thing I keep needing
endlessly nurturing cohesion
now I look around this place
and honestly, I`m **** amazed
by every beautiful face
and this solid foundation I`ve raised
we rarely stop to appraise
the fires that don`t burn, glowing ablaze
