One Brick Too High

(Verse 1) I built it high, I built it wide, A quiet place where I could hide. Kept the voices on the other side, But now they’re fading... so am I. (Verse 2) No more knocks upon the door, No more footsteps on the floor. I swore I’d never be controlled, But now the walls have turned to stone. (Chorus) One brick too high, one step too far, Now I can’t remember who they are. I thought I’d find some peace inside, But all I found was time to die. The air is thin, the light is cold, A kingdom built but never ruled. I reached for walls to keep me safe, Now they’re the hands that dig my grave. (Verse 3) I see their dark lines through the cracks, But they don’t call, they don’t come back. I locked the world outside my mind, Now I can’t break what I designed. (Chorus) One brick too high, one step too far, Now I can’t remember who they are. I thought I’d find some peace inside, But all I found was time to die. The air is thin, the light is cold, A kingdom built but never ruled. I reached for walls to keep me safe, Now they’re the hands that dig my grave. (Outro) The walls don’t speak, the walls don’t care, I made them strong, I made them bare. Now there’s nothing left to hold, And no way out why did i have to be so bold
