Build - Acoustic

[Verse 1]

Out there, blink and you’ll miss it

Is the promised land or at least somewhere different

Pressed up to the glass to see it

But I get distracted by my reflection

Like a live wire, hope flickers

Against the pitch black in rich contrast

Hypnotized by the horizon

I hold out my hand

[Pre-Chorus]

I just want to build some kind of bridge

To where the source material lives

I want to build, brick by brick

Until I’m changed

[Chorus]

For a minute I’ll be endless

For a minute I’ll be brave

For a minute I’ll makе sense of

All of my mistakes

[Verse 2]

I’vе poured over the blueprints

And I’ve stuck to the plan

Even a little ahead of schedule

But still missing parts of who I am

My active imagination

Fills in the empty space

The pencil reaches wide

But like anything held too tight, it breaks

[Pre-Chorus]

I just want to make some kind of mark

Permanent ink right from the start

I want to draw, line by line

Until I’m changed

I just want to build some kind of bridge

To where the source material lives

I want to build, brick by brick

Until I’m changed

[Chorus]

For a minute I’ll be endless

For a minute I’ll be brave

For a minute I’ll make sense of

All of my mistakes

For a minute I’ll be endless

For a minute I’ll be home

For a minute I’ll make something

I’ll forever call my own

[Outro]

I’ll always wrestle with patience

The dissonance of purgatory

I’ll try to make use of the tension

In this first and second act of my story
