Bright & Early

Bright and early, through the curtains
The sun comes pouring in
Filling glasses up with diamonds
Stirring where I've been

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 miss it
The future's up in smoke
Though dust has settled, I 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
If trust is a ribbon
Then patience ties it in a perfect bow
