School yards to smokey bars
|
All these shadows a long the wall
|
Wide eyed under endless skies
|
When ceilings seemed so tall
|
Erase and replace
|
I found a monster to call my own
|
Reflections trace a changing face
|
Regrets in flesh and bone
|
I've built this castle in sand
|
It becomes smaller with every grain
|
I've built this future with my hands
|
The silouhettes mark my gain
|
Suffocate this child and choke on the result
|
These seeds with no light
|
A blind will to grow
|
Blueprints of descent
|
It's etched in the past that we all know
|
Scarred chins and splitting shins
|
Caloused with fears that show
|
Erase and replace
|
I found a monster to call my own
|
Red crayons and open hands
|
I was taught by sticks and stones
|
Seperated but the kids still breathing
|
Somewhere in between
|
It's when our limbs they weigh us down
|
We retrace the seams
|
But under cold rain and hot air I once watched time stand still
|
I stepped back and smiled at the small shoes that I've filled
|
