give me those bricks

give me those bricks
and i'll take away the kicks

empty your backpack
i'll take away the flack

hand me your dead weight
and i will make it a gate


let me take the strain
help you process your pain

we can just talk
maybe go for a walk

or sit silent mostly
and stir over a cup o’tea


but let me help you with those bricks
you carry around wishing they were just sticks
