I Would do it All Again

I spill over symbols and shapes
Sounds so familiar
                          I can almost see my reflection in the vibration
We designed the structure
                          manipulating substance
                          but never saw it through
I skim our surface
          almost ashamed
Belief was the one truth we never sacrificed
Stubbornly holding onto one another
Even if the ghost outweighed the idea

Every breath I take clouded all the more with memory

I do not wish to replay
What matters is no more
We took our chances
Tested time
I would do it all again

I would do it all again
I would disassemble the mess we have made
Walk the thin line
                          and do it all again
Symmetry is far too misleading
The hands of time are not intended for those with paths better left discovered

It took a lifetime to get here
Our promised land
                          perhaps built for abandon
This is the life we both lead with
                          but never live
A brick and mortar no man could claim
Just as we dismantle this weathered masterpiece
                          the writing remains written there
                          on those crumbled walls
