lyrics

We built this house
Brick by brick
We built this home
Stone by stone

Didn’t consider foundation first
Or observe the lay of the land
So this house was built on quicksand

You brought me fruit from the garden
But it was rotten
I said, “My darlin’, you have to pay attention
Remember to water these flowers.”

We wrapped our fears in rabbit’s fur
Listened closely for good-time birds

We built this house
Brick by brick
We built this home
Stone by stone

Didn’t consider foundation
Aligned the walls with candles
Unaware they foreshadowed a funeral

Welcome home

These wooden walls construct the halls
Tiny eggs hatch termite legs
Eat away throughout our days
Exposing rotted teeth to air
You say, to me you say
“I am no carpenter
This I cannot repair”

We built this house
We built this house

Floor of water upon stone
Floats my body, rests my bones
This journey
Solitary
In its entirety
Now I’d rather be alone
Among this rotted wood
Crumbled brick
Broken stone
I’d rather be alone.
