The Bricklayer's Son

Oh, this is what I've become

I am the bricklayer's son

Born at the wrong time

Oh, the weight, it leads me astray

But I will not stand in your way

If you don't stand in mine

My mind, it moved like mercury

Through the time plasticine

Of your heart's circuitry

Oh well, ast least it did until

A whole dman mountain of pills

Buried me

But I won't come back you see

Don't take it so personally

It's just when you look at me

I see it bright as the sun

My failures all at once

Now I live with a girl

At the edge of the world

She's a bricklayer too

Oh, I loved her right from the start

When she ripped out of my heart

She reminds me of you

But I won't come back you see

Don't take it so personally

It's just when you look at me

I see it bright as the sun

My failures all at once

Oh, this is what I've become

I am the bricklayer's son

But I'm not wasting my time

Oh, the weight, it leads me astray

But I will not stand in your way

If you don't stand in mine
