Lego Walls by Amy Shelver

I can feel your walls come down
They crumble to the ground.
What does surrender feel like?
Coz I’m not there.

I’m still trying to let go of all this fear
But there you go
Letting go…
I envy you.

I move through your rubble
Trailing my troubles.
It’s like walking through a museum,
An archive of forgotten reasons.
It’s all so beautiful.

What does surrender feel like?
Coz I’m not there.
I’m still trying to let go of all this fear
But there you go
Letting go…

Darling, this landscape of release
It’s drowning me in my sleep
And I ache for the parts of you
I want to be.

You are so much better than me.

What does surrender feel like?
Coz I’m not there.
I’m still trying to let go of all this fear But there you go
Letting go…
I envy you.

I wanna
Let go
Hold on
Lego
Hold on
Lego
Hold on

Hold on to me.
Don’t forget in all that surrender
To hold on
To me.
