Bricks and Mortar - Cancer Bats

Pain is like my driver, driving me insane

I’m screaming out

Help me carry this burden

Pressure all around that tries to drag us to the deep

Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar

Nailing shut my coffin, coughing in the rain

I’m screaming out

Help me shoulder this tombstone

Searching to defeat the many things that keep us weak

Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar

Help save me from the cold

You can tear away my flesh

You can crush all my bones

But you will never take my soul

Broken like an arrow, arrow in my leg

I’m screaming for someone to shoulder this burden

Strengthen up our grip against the changing of the tide

Grief like a halo around my neck

My salvation, bricks and mortar

Help save me from the cold

Take this halo

I dream of bricks and mortar

Salvation for my soul

I dream of bricks and mortar

Help save me from the cold
