Deck Dreams

[Verse]
Blueprints sprawled, mind caught in the wood maze,
Tape measure stretched, these numbers play mind games.
Splinters in my palms, sawdust in my veins,
Sweat drips steady, my patience tested and strained.
[Chorus]
Deck dreams rising, blood and nails in the fight,
Planks align, reaching toward the twilight.
Through storms of doubt and hammer strikes in the night,
Built it from the ground, it’s a carpenter’s rite.
[Verse 2]
Hammer sings songs, nails dance to the beat,
Plank by plank, creating my retreat.
Sunburnt shoulders, boots caked in the dirt,
Each misstep a lesson, yeah, the struggle don’t hurt.
[Bridge]
Drill’s battery fading, screws rolling away,
Cursing the wind as it steals my plans today.
Neighbors throwing shade, they say it won’t stand,
But my deck gon’ shine, built by these two hands.
[Verse 3]
Joists locked tight, foundation on the rise,
Square up the corners, keep the angles precise.
Rain tried to drown me, sun tried to bake,
But my will’s reinforced, can’t bend, won’t break.
[Chorus]
Deck dreams rising, blood and nails in the fight,
Planks align, reaching toward the twilight.
Through storms of doubt and hammer strikes in the night,
Built it from the ground, it’s a carpenter’s rite.
