Bright and early,
Through the curtains,
The sun comes pouring in.
Filling gla**es up with diamonds,
Stirring where i've been
But it's all trigger and effect.
Dominoes at their best.
In the end i'm told
It taught me everything i know.
That the wreckage left behind,
Will somehow make me grow.
But why couldn't i have been safe from the start?
Soundly asleep.
The warmth of blankets
Makes me nervous.
I'd rather catch a cold.
Like sparks in matches,
Blink, you'll miss it,
The future's up in smoke.
Though dust has settled,
I still smell the ashes
Buried in my clothes.
It's all trigger and effect, i know…
Dominoes at their best.
In the end i'm told
It taught me everything i know.
But when the fire took our home,
I lost part of my soul.
From the ground up
I'll keep building
Houses into homes.
'cause if trust is ribbon,
Then patience ties it
In a perfect bow.
