Lifetime project

I try to build
Brick by brick
I raise these walls
but every time
they crash and burn

Why should I try again?
Always start from zero
Recreate with devotion and hope
and in a blink of an eye
they fall down, crash and burn

And the walls that I have built
are now nothing but ruins

I´m tired
My hands are getting weak
I´m losing my devotion and hope
No more walls to build
No bricks to lift
Let me rest
Let my heart beat free for a while

The walls that I have built
are now nothing but ruins
Memories and lost feelings
that I have to carry inside my heart

Now just stand on nothing
watching the emptiness around me
What have I achieved?
The sky is the limit
and I stand six feet under
