He had cut is life into neat little pieces

To protect himself from the heat

The rain and storms he had to ride

Through all the summers and winters of his life

All the stones thrown that had fallen at his feet

Supporting a rickety creaking wall

Until she walked into his life

That gentle act of chaos that broke down all he had created

In order to manage the hours and seconds

He had to negotiate every minute of everyday

He couldn’t find the answer

To the ground shaking underneath his feet

He had tried to deny that he didn’t need the Lego house he had built

All the bricks of exact and equal matching colours

She told him it was O.K. she just wanted to understand

To know to share in the order you have made

From door to door and through the other side

Let me sit beside you and hide with you behind your shield

So that we can together step away from the

Melancholy and the drama

The clowns in wolves clothing

Trying to destroy and defeat all of the no’s that you and I may say

The nodding wish you well knowing nothing smiling telling you it’s all O.K.

But with no idea ones who want to help

Please let me stay I will be quiet

Because like you I can no longer take the heat

But together we can face the world

That is not ours but theirs
