Bright & Early - Sleeping At Last

Bright and early through the curtains

The sun comes pouring in

Filling glasses up with diamonds

Stirring where I've been

It's all trigger and effect

Dominoes at their best

In the end I'm told it taught me everything I know

That the wreckage left behind

Will somehow make me grow

But why couldn't I have been safe from the start

Soundly asleep

The warmth of blankets makes me nervous

I'd rather catch a cold

Like sparks and matches blink you'll miss it

The future's up in smoke

Though dust has settled

I smell the ashes buried in my clothes

It's all trigger and effect I know

Dominoes at their best

In the end I'm told it taught me everything I know

When the fire took our home

I lost part of my soul

From the ground up

I'll keep building houses into homes

If trust is ribbon

Then patience ties it in a perfect bow
