Sleeping At Last
Build

[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’m be brave
For a minute I’ll make sense of
All of my mistakes

[Verse 2]
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 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
But I’ll try to make use of the tension
In this first and second act of my story
