On Running Ground

This house was built on running ground
The walls are crumbling and the windows are crooked
This house was built on running ground
On running ground

Time only took but never gave in return
No growth without loss is the lesson we learn

This house was never built to prevail
As the plants grow over more from day-to-day
The roof is patchy, the plaster comes off
I'd set it on fire to rebuild it again

Time only took but never gave in return
No growth without loss is the lesson we learn

This house was built on running ground
The walls are crumbling and the windows are crooked
This house was built on running ground
I break through the mirror as it reflects on myself

Deconstruct, rearrange, repainted by hand
To hide all the cracks that eat it up from within

When the rain pours down and silts up the ground
The brickwork is weakened and soon wearing out
Even the finest art can't prevail built on sand
Everything turns to dust when it lacks the foundation

Destroy and rebuild
Fragile and broken overlaid with shine
Built to collapse, flawed by design

This house was built on running ground
The walls are crumbling and the windows are crooked
This house was built on running ground
I break through the mirror as it reflects on myself

This house was built on running ground
This house was built on running ground
