Bricks Will Scatter
Bricks Will Scatter (1/8/2008)
It’s really not a secret that I carry all my issues
Dealing with the chaos while whispering ‘I miss you’s
Attachment can be burdensome if you aren’t ready
Cause it calls you to be strong and elegant and steady
And the weight can feel so heavy when it’s packed upon your shoulders
But with compassion in your heart, it’s hard to grow much colder
So, close your eyes and hold her and remember why you stand here
Then look into her eyes and tell the world to stand clear
Cause your walls will crumble, the bricks will all be scattered
The image of your shell will topple ’til it shatters
And everything that matters will be left there in the rubble
Breathing in the warmth of the love that’s free from trouble
And, sure, you both may stumble, nothing’s ever perfect
But, for the time it lasts, I can promise that it’s worth it
Feeling love and purpose while being lifted by her presence
Is enough to wake you up and make you understand the lessons
I speak to you with knowledge of these complicated feelings
It’s difficult to grasp them cause the knowledge can be fleeting
With so many people cheating, you may come across temptation
But, just push it to the side and just seek determination
Cause who needs this hesitation? Don’t heed to complications
Try to take the risk and you’ll reach these elevations
And I know it might not last and the odds say you’ll get hurt
But there’s value in the present, in her eyes and in her words
I know it’s so absurd for me to recommend exposure
But I’ll have it while I can and it started when I told her
Notes: Even though logic says this will not end favorably, I’m going to enjoy it while I can and try every day to prove that there’s something more to life than just the facts.
