Brick by Brick

a song—indie—key of C#

[the glory of being reunited with my electric guitar]

in a tower i can watch flowers grow

or i can just watch them die

all i see, nobody knows

but i can claim that i'm on high

and i lie and lie again

i told you it's all okay

to let you think that you're unknown

brick by brick i lay it down

to leave you wondering if i'm alone

by the beach i have no reason left to swim

the water makes me wonder

i have to think of me with her and her with him

and the currents pull me under

and i think and think and think again

i told you it's all okay

to let you think that you're unknown

brick by brick i lay it down

to leave you wondering if i'm alone

whoever knew this was so damn right

whoever knew this was my alibi

whoever knew this was a mother's scare

whoever knew this kept the secrets in her hair

underneath the soil there's nothing left to grow

it's burnt up, burnt out, diseased

and i plead and plead and plead again

i told you it's all okay

to let you think that you're unknown

brick by brick i lay it down

to leave you wondering if i'm alone
