Bricklayer

lyrics

Well the truth hit me like a load of bricks,
lost my nerve, but got those kicks,
way down in the AM,
looks like I lost a friend,
lock down or misguided me,
lock down or thrown key,
lost down or misguided me,
locked down, thrown key
Well I been a bricklayer for 24 year,
Good Lord, still holding that fear,
not of dying at all,
but not living,
living is the fall,
carry back to where I found my home,
maybe then I can finally lie alone,
watchin' it all fall down,
lookin' right past you now.

Lookin' right past you now x A LOT

I'm looking right passed you,
I'm looking right passed through,
HEY,
Been building walls all this time,
trying to find what's mine,
maybe this brick is yours,
I'll find out when I get more,
Hard labor, hard alcohol,
you wanna ride, well watch it fall
you wanna ride, well watch it fall
you wanna ride, well watch it fall
watching it all fall down

Well I'll be a bricklayer for 24 more,
as long as can find that door,
this hallway seems too big,
not enough soul,
not enough dig,
carry back where I found my feet,
maybe then I can finally defy defeat,
watchin' it all fall down,
watchin' it all fall down
