I feel like I'm made of building blocks And I'm the one that's building me Paying attention to form only Stacking one on top of another I tried telling myself I'd done a good job But the papier-mâché blocks Are too fragile What bit should I redo? The sound of them falling echoes The sound grows long, I sing a song And remembering you I begin to build again The night grows long, the stars and moon Shine down on me Unreliably Trying to get higher I stretched as far as I could And so the toenails of the weak Turn red Where should I stand? The sound of them clashing echoes Haltingly, haltingly There's nothing to fill the cracks I'll try again Shoulder-to-shoulder, the years, the moon Shine down on you now Unreliably I feel like I'm made of building blocks And you're the one that's building me
