Build (Instrumental)

Build - Sleeping At Last

Lyrics by：Ryan Curtis O'Neal

Composed by：Ryan Curtis O'Neal

Produced by：Sleeping At Last

Out there blink and you'll miss it

Is the promised land or at least something different

Press up to the glass to see it

I get distracted by my reflection

Like a live wire hope flickers

Against the pitch black in rich contrast

Hypnotized by the horizon

I hold out my hand

I just want to build some kind of bridge

To where the source material is

I want to build brick by brick

Until I'm changed

For a minute I'll be endless

For a minute I'm be brave

For a minute I'll make sense of

All of my mistakes

I've poured over the blueprints

I've stuck to the plan

Even a little ahead of schedule

But still missing parts of who I am

An active imagination

Fills the empty space

A pencil reaches

But like anything held too tight it breaks

I just want to make some kind of mark

Permanent ink right from the start

I want to draw line by line

Until I'm changed

I just want to build some kind of bridge

To where the source material is

I want to build brick by brick

Until I'm changed

For a minute I'll be endless

For a minute I'll be brave

For a minute I'll make sense of

All of my mistakes

For a minute I'll be endless

For a minute I'll be whole

For a minute I'll make something

I'll forever call my own

I'll always wrestle with patience

The dissonance of purgatory

But I'll try to make use of attention

In this first and second act of my story
