Brick By Brick

Time becomes a trap a clock we neglect
And we get fooled over and over and over
Seconds turn into minutes, minutes into hours
Hours into days into a daze who cares 

Pain has so many masks a deceptive heart
No mercy given even when asked until 
Love intercedes with grace and mercy
Time waits for no one not a soul 
Time is patient because it has no beginning no end

Sin and pain cannot be swept away 
By the tides nor time
It is not what we see 
It is what we don’t want to see 
The curtain is torn for you and me
Beyond the wall beyond the heavens
