a sanctuary safe and sound (And so it goes, Billy Joel)
Note: I’m not too sure, these were a bunch of verses kicking around my notebook, and I tried putting them together. I do like the idea of creating a home, mostly thanks to http://www.onemanga.com/Living_Game/. Check it out.
In this house
The clock here still ticks,
and this clock it talks
In this house
He was not just a carpenter
They say that only because he’s a little wooden
Listen to Mary
Not just mother, but Magdalene as well
He was not just a carpenter
In this house
The bed is cold where I lie
The air fogs up wistul with sighs
Ever night since i was 12 I’d pray
That you’d come home today
Because a house on its own is empty
And this room for one is too plenty
I’m not just a carpenter
Build you this house with my hands
Put up the roof with my left
Use my right to
protect this house from heart’s theft
But still we feel the need to roam
A house is not a home
Construction from destruction
And I destroy
Nails, wood, plaster, friendships, and possiblities
I had to clear a plot,
I had to write a plot
To make room for this
I made a home in my heart
And you’re the only one who knows
