lyrics

Glossy plastic multi-colored jumble
Like a Rorschach test
Some just see a mess, a senseless jungle
To be coalesced
Throw it in a bucket in a closet
Designate the space
Suitable for snappy brix and call it
Put back in its place

Others, though, they see potential
See the castles and the cars
Settings movie referential
Scenes unscripted as the stars

Are you one of the creators?
Anyone can be, you see
Don't give in to fun dictators
Live your own philosophy (philosophy, yeah)

Creation ought not be congruent
You have a mind for all to see
Let dreams become your very blueprint
And build all that you wish to be

You might build a house of seven stories
Of the most renown
But it's tough rebuilding former glories
When they tumble down
Whether it's a rickety foundation
Or an act of God
Best that you can do is calibration
Check which parts were flawed

Are you one of the creators?
With your snappy brix in hand?
Can you write off all your haters
'Cause they just don't understand?
And when certain bricks go missing
And you have to improvise
Or you're stuck in reminiscing
It could lead to your demise (to your demise, yeah)

Creation ought not be pursuant
But if you want your dreams to be
Develop them beyond a blueprint
And build a new reality
