Break it Down

You call it a line
I call it a wall
Careful-don’t trip and fall
over what protects us all
Dug in the earth
No we built it upward
Call it moving forward
No we’re stepping backward-

-Hit rewind-

To get back to a time
When East berlin
and West berlin
were just
was just
Berlin
Let me in

You call it a line
I call it a wall
There was a time
With no sects at all
You dig in the ground
With a stick I found for you
You trace it all around
Scars a trick I played for you
No it wasn’t a game
But to a severed hearts’ all the same
I allowed myself to take the blame
I was the one to blame

Carve a line into the sand
And you will find it does not stand
up against
Gravity
A millisecond
Cavity

Bricks
My friends
Are composed of this substance
Disunity, temporarity
Found in abundance
Consider what we consider to be so considerably literally considerable
dependable
I mean really

Your line is un-lasting
My wall is of sand
Your heart took a lashing
Won’t hold on my hand
So I reach on in through a hole on the wall
Collapses around me
Crumbles and falls
Fills in the holes
That make up your line
With this line
I ask you

Be mine
