Today I never slowed my walk

OK, so this was actually written by my friend Mikhail and it's only the first part of this amazing song (I highly recommend going to one of his shows, check him out, Shimmergloom (www.myspace.com/shimmergloomproject). This is exactly what I felt today, and there was no other way of explaining it.

Today I took her picture down
And hid it in a small red box.
It turns out the chains to which I was bound
Were self-imposed, they had no locks.
They weren't tied.
They weren't fastened.
I simply shrugged and they fell off.

And oblivious to pain
I changed today.
Today I never slowed my walk.
And seven days from Sunday,
A week a month and one day from now
Today will feel like yesterday,
And from now until next May
It's going to feel like yesterday.

Rebuild

Back to square one
Should have known better
Got to stop building it up
Just to watch it fall

And all I have is this corner stone in hand
it's stronger and dependable
Because when everything is washed away with the sand
It stays to help me rebuild again

Back to the beginning
and the map is gone
Blueprints washed away
in the height of the storm

Back to where I need to be
a clean slate
No expectations
To live up to anymore

And all I have is this corner stone in hand
it's stronger and dependable
Because when everything is washed away with the sand
It stays to help me rebuild again

And here I am my cornerstone in hand
Ready to rebuild again
