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 and matches, blink, you'll 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
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 ribbon, then patience ties it in a perfect bow
