Build me a house of stone
And I’ll tell you that I already did
For years I’ve spent time alone
In a loft with two kids
We grew, we wandered
We bonded, we fought
In thoughts, we all grew somber
Through all the time we lost
Knowing all we had was each other
And a house of stone and rubble
We all stuck together
And loved one another
Our hearts were torn
For our lives were misshapen
Knowing we were worn
From a life of blaming
Ask me about that house of stone
That fell when we grew older
We are all now misunderstood ones
That never grew older
We see our past with hope
As a dreamer first discovers
We wore a mask of cope
Where pain longer hovers
In my mind, I see that house of stone sometimes
And drift back on the clock
To the loft where the sun always shines
And where the past always knocks
