Puzzles And Pieces - Deas Vail

Everyone’s careful

They’re plotting their best escapes

For fear of this whole place burning down

Puzzles and pieces

We’re tangled in cages

And they rattle and shake their bones

But they grew from the earth, I watched them bloom

They came up and grabbed me

So stand in a world that seems to be built

On pillars and numbers

Or dance with the hopes of falling in love

Before we have learned to love ourselves

Measures and objects

They fall in our view of worth

And we’re whittled away by zeroes won

Somebody save us

And nobody asks this

But where does our heart live on?

In dreaming of dangers, dream of God

And maybe we’ve got it

So stand in a world that seems to be built

On pillars and numbers

Or dance with the hopes of falling in love

Before we have learned just to…

Stand in a world that seems to be built

On pillars and numbers

Or dance with the hopes of falling in love

But how can we love

If we can’t love ourselves?

Can’t love ourselves…
