Building Temples

[Instrumental] (Verse 1) I have spent years... Carving your name into the bark of the moon. Just years. Trying to learn the alphabet of your eyes, The way they look when you aren't really looking. I confess I don’t just want you. I cannot live I won’t live... Without you. (Chorus) Because you’re the poem I never finished writing, The revolution I was too afraid to start. You’re the only map that leads back to myself, The only compass for a weak heart. Without your love, the world stops spinning round, (Verse 2) I know our history isn’t written in roses. There’s blood on the petals, too. I have been so difficult A storm that forgot how to settle, A thunderclap that wouldn’t leave the room. Despite the heartbreaks, Despite the way I wounded The very hands that fed my starving soul... I’m asking you to look past the ruins. Just look. At the temples we are building (Chorus) Yeah, you’re the poem I never finished writing, The revolution I was too afraid to start. You’re the only map that leads back to myself, The only compass for this weak heart. Without your love, the world stops spinning round, (Bridge) I’m a word without a language. A man on the edge of a world that just... stopped. Forgive my madness, please. It’s the only way I know how to worship you. (Outro) The moon is scarred with your name. The temple is still standing. Just keep me here. Forgive the storm.
