about

This version of Brick Layers is live and acoustic, recorded at home with a small digital mini disc player and a hand held mic. Just as Drama Kids was being recorded Paco, Chad, and G.I. were all sharing a rented home with a few other friends and this session took place at that time. The band frequently performed acoustic sets at coffee shops and bars around Dallas for several years, Brick Layers was one of many songs that translated nicely to the acoustic setting and thus was performed on a regular basis at those type of gigs.

lyrics

living in houses, buying the bricks that build these walls
raising the layers, brick upon brick to make you whole
take a look. you'll see this place is desolate
everybody is hiding in their perfect little houses
building from the inside with no way out
and i don't want to scare you
but i think that you might like to know
that every brick you lay is just another day you spend alone
and i don't want to scare you
and i promise you that i will be brave
and let them hear what you have to say
hiding in the cracked foundations praying no one can see
fortress ourselves in the great delusion in our animosity
follow this assembly line until your face is undefined
until your name is meaningless until you cannot recognize
why you began to build this place why you started from the inside out
why you didn't build a door for god?
why you didn't build a door?
