Mason in the mirror（バージョン2）

Verse 1 – male vocal

Cinder blocks in my chest, counting every brick and stone

The mason's shadow moved like a slow-motion fight

I practiced with the trowel till the dust turned to gold

Momma said 'you build your own house, boy' before I was old

Every corner he laid down is where I drew my lines

Molded in the darkness, hardened in the shine

Twenty years later and that cement still runs deep

I build the walls of my mind one thin layer at a time

Chorus

Mason in the mirror, I'm building what you see

Every line is a lesson, every stone sets me free

Hold this up to the light, it's not just a wall anymore

This is the blueprint for a life that I swore

I'd never give up on

And when the whole thing comes crashing down, I'll be the one standing tall

Verse 2 – male vocal

Gravel in the pockets of my jeans, dust in my eyes

Learning to lay every stone without asking why

The mason didn't teach me how to hold it all together

Just gave me a trowel and said 'watch this, kid, watch this weather

I built a whole house with borrowed tools and borrowed time

Paid for it by stacking bricks that weighed more than mine

Bare feet on the concrete before my toes had strength

Every day I laid down was one less hour of length

Now every block in that wall has a name

Every crack is a scar where I used to feel pain

If they took the hammer away, I'd still build it with words

Cause when you start with nothing but dust and hard-hit chords

Chorus

Mason in the mirror, I'm building what you see

Every line is a lesson, every stone sets me free

Hold this up to the light, it's not just a wall anymore

This is the blueprint for a life that I swore

I'd never give up on

And when the whole thing comes crashing down, I'll be the one standing tall

Bridge

This ain't about building something new

It's about taking what was broken and making it true

Every single brick, every single crack

Tells me who I used to be before I got back on track

So don't ask when I'm done building this house

Just know that I won't stop till the whole thing turns to gold

Chorus

Mason in the mirror, I'm building what you see

Every line is a lesson, every stone sets me free

Hold this up to the light, it's not just a wall anymore

This is the blueprint for a life that I swore

I'd never give up on

And when the whole thing comes crashing down, I'll be the one standing tall
