Mirror

Place a brick on the river,
To show them what we built -
To show them what was lost -
To free us of our guilt -
To build back to a meaning...
Before it all got lost,
It hurts to be alone,
It hurts to be alone.

Place a brick on the river,
To give their lives a scale -
To fill their hopes with meaning -
To show them how we failed -
To untangle their past...
And give them drops of ego,
It hurts to be alone,
It hurts to be alone

Place a brick on the river,
To give our thoughts a platform -
To outperform the wind -
To bring us what we asked for -
To give our pain the merits...
Of art made on a whim,
it hurts to be alone,
it hurts to be alone.


R.I.P.  To all those who died this week.
