There are those who are castle-builders. Idealists with honorable intentions. Brainchild sophists.
The one I knew always talked too much. Had shoes full of bullet holes.
Here is my story.

Some And Others
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)
With you, to your own
Has the year been overwhelming?
Do you fall alone?
Are your hang-ups never ending?
And think, I adore everything you ever stand for
But you bring it down - every pastel is a dark brown
Some stay, some try, some fall wayside
Others never take strides ever
I climb to your face, but the blankness is uneasy
I wish to erase every minus with a blessing
Some stay, some try, some fall wayside
Others never take strides ever
With you, to your own
Has the year been overwhelming?
Do you fall alone?
Are your hang-ups never ending?
Some stay, some try, some fall wayside
Others never take strides ever
Some stay, some try, some fall wayside
Others never take strides ever
Some stay, some try, some fall wayside
Others never take strides ever
Some stay
Some try
Some fall wayside
