Lyrics

You're putting up walls (hey)
Familiar facades (woah)
You are trying to be anything you're not (hey)
You're putting on a show (hey)
Enter right and go (woah)
And play the part that you have started
To leave behind the broken hearted you
Though time doesn't heal wounds
Just makes them scab (hey)
They're all that's left of what you had (hey)
It's easy to cling onto bad
And the memories may stab you in the back (in the back)
But it's the life you had

And you best not let it go
Don't wanna go setting off ma dukes
Leads to control the hold, throwing up my dukes
Knowing there's more to gold, glittering might do
But the cotton, low and behold, the soul invites you
To the mind of who instilled it all, an overall individual
We overlook the work of art that may bless the wall
And how strong the nails may be to hold it
Involves a lot of the mind but the memories control it
So LEGO it, it's the building blocks that make the bigger picture
That's the ones we set in rocks, the stone's considered richer
We're in line to use the mind for a miss or mister
You can abide by the signs or just sit and whisper
Lie down your stones for your memory lane
Remove your color and your frame, notice all that remains
Is the necessary base, though not what you proclaimed
Every brush stroke is another memory gained yeah

When life throws you another catastrophe
You can't let yourself freeze and atrophy
The only way is up and to let yourself change
And the disarray may disengage
The truth is written in the stars
And you wear your shattered heart on your arms
And the face you wear's drawn with ink and pen
But it'll always wash back off again and then (and then)
Your reflection captures who you are within (who you are)
Your reflection captures who you are within
(Who you are) hey

(I know) your heart may stand to say
(I know) the part got plans to play
(I know) your art can't tell today
(I know) the dark got hell to pay
I see a hard place and a rock
It's still iron so we'll strike while it's hot
God's plan so we sticking to the plot
You are art just in case you forgot (yeah yeah)
So they'll say they can see it, so visual
They'll pay and you'll receive the residuals
See your own fight and just be an original
You take your own light, it can be so criminal
You may hang alone but you not alone
And you made a home but it's cornerstone
So it's built to own by your thoughts, unknown
By those coming home to the milestone

When life throws you another catastrophe
You can't let yourself freeze and atrophy (atrophy)
The only way is up and to let yourself change
And the disarray may disengage (disarray may)
The truth is written in the stars
And you wear your shattered heart on your arms (on your arms)
And the face you wear's drawn with ink and pen
But it'll always wash back off again and then (and then)
Your reflection captures who you are within (who you are)
Your reflection captures who you are within
(Who you are) hey

An object in motion stays in motion
And if I don't I'll crawl out of my skin
'Cause the only way to mend is when
You begin to let the memories in
Memories you've tried to let go
The ones that show who you've moved on from
Shaped and molded who you are
And hey, you've come this far

Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
Hey, you've come this far
