Bright and early
Through the curtains
The sun comes pouring in
Filling glasses up with diamonds
Stirring where I've been
But 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
