Structures

A cityscape in my mind

Towers of paradigms

It only took a lifetime

To build it so sublime

I can see it now in hindsight

But it isn’t really fair to find

What I believed with all of my might

condemned beyond repair

I don’t want to tear it down

If I don’t need to

It might come crashing to the ground

Even if I don’t want it to

So I’ll tear it all down

I’ll tear it all down

As I break down

Searching through the rubble

I’ll examine every piece

Though the structures were found faulty

They meant everything to me

I didn’t want to tear it down

But I had to

It all came crashing to the ground

There was nothing that I could do

So I tore it all down

I tore it all down

As I’m breaking

I’m breaking

If I could even rebuild

Would it even be better?

Could I keep all I’ve learned

Both the sweet and the bitter

But I don’t even know

What I don’t even know
