Bright & Early - Sleeping At Last

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’ll miss it

The future’s up in smoke

Though dust has settled

I still 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

'Cause if trust is ribbon

Then patience ties it

In a perfect bow
