brick by brick
i'm building my life
brick by brick

brick by brick
i can't turn back time
brick by brick

lean in and peer inside
rough indentions and
small spaces

worlds within clay
moments trapped in blocks
engrained in the walls of my home

brick by brick
i'm building my life
brick by brick

brick by brick
i can't turn back time
brick by brick

east side west side
sun rises above
eyes squint as glory appears

so many cracks/crevices, 

bite-size regrets
bricks so frail they crumble under the weight
of the brick above

dust clouds sliding out from beneath
like snakes from their burrows
stability slipping away

the bright light peering through
the holes of missed moments
weak bricks and imperfect building

but i carry on

brick by brick

I'm building my life

brick by brick

brick by brick

i can't turn back time

brick by brick
