Lego bricks

It's almost as simple as Lego bricks

Building one's way to the stars

As easy as hiding behind a face with a smile

It's just snapping one half to a half

When you're finished, you're there and it's over

The creator of a miniature world

Pristine in the moment for a minute

Until falling apart it unfurls

Those bricks become tears in an ocean

Unimportant and meaningless to most

Except to the one whose assembled

The little town, little people. Now ghosts

It's almost as simple as Lego bricks

Tearing one's self apart

All it takes is a little disturbance

To find yourself back at the start

They see it as merely just a hobby

Creating those Lego brick towns

But those worlds spawn from your emotion

And it's you that comes crashing down

The master builder behind a manual

The hands of a strange construction

Is but a child, broken and damaged

An architect of one's own destruction
