Lyrics
**Title: Son of a Bricklayer**
(Verse 1)
He was a son of a bricklayer, hands like weathered stone
Built these walls with calloused palms, never left me alone
Brick by brick, stone by stone, he'd lay me down real slow
Whispered secrets in the dark where only shadows grow
(Chorus)
My son, my son, a love unsung
Heavy as the mortar drying on my tongue
My son, my son, what have I done?
Brick by brick, I built this hell for us as one
(Verse 2)
Taught him how to swing a hammer, taught him how to take the pain
Said "real men don't cry, boy," while I broke him again and again
In the back of that old pickup, under that Georgia pine
I gave him something sacred, something twisted, something mine
(Chorus)
My son, my son, a love unsung
Blood and sweat and silence where the hymns should've been sung
My son, my son, Lord the damage done
Brick by brick, stone by stone, I claimed him as my own
(Bridge)
Now that son has a son of his own
I see it in his eyes when he looks at the boy
Same hunger, same shame, same devil on the throne
The bloodline keeps on building, no escape, no joy
(Chorus - Final)
My son, my son, a love unsung
Now he's laying bricks where the nightmare begun
My son, my son, the cycle's spun
Brick by brick, stone by stone, the sin goes on and on
(Outro - whispered, fading)
Son of a bricklayer...
My son... my son...
A love unsung...
