Today I am new
And old
Today I will build
Because all you ever do is destroy
You fight fight FIGHT
And we're in the middle
Listening to excuses
Useful as chocolate teapots
Reasons as valid
As a thirty year old passport

We watch you break things at each other
And cut themselves on your own glass
And I'm there with bandages
Picking up the pieces
I shouldn't be here
Watching a war
I shouldn't be here

I should be safe
So today
I build my own family
Today I build a place of safety
Out of the broken pieces
Today I make a home

Today I set you free.
