Build (Acoustic) - Sleeping At Last

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 own reflection

Like a live-wire hope flickers

Against the pitch black

In rich contrast

Hypnotized by the horizon

I hold out my hand

I just want to build

Some kind of bridge

To where the source material lives

I want to build

Brick by brick until I am changed

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

I've poured over the blueprints

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

I just want to make

Some kind of mark

Permanent ink

Right from the start

I want to draw

Line by line

Until I am 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 am changed

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

And for a minute I'll be endless

For a minute I'll be home

For a minute I'll make something

To forever call my own

I'll always wrestle with patience

The dissonance of purgatory

But I'll try to make use of the tension

In this first and second act of my story
