[Verse 1] Me and my feeling are too much for others So I keep the door shut tight Walls up high, shell on hard I don’t let the soft stuff bite Keep my mental guard focused Never waver, never fold I bury it deep where no one reaches Lock it up where it stays cold [Pre-Chorus] Don’t open Keep it hidden Let it sink Let it stay Tears can fall But they stay caged In the dark Far away [Chorus] Keep the walls up Keep the cold, keep the ice Never again Keep the walls up No emotions, no love Just the dark within [Verse 2] The 7 shadows in their cages of glass I hear them scrape the night Keep their foul words till the time comes back When the shell might crack in light But I’m not asking for mercy I’m not opening the gate I learned how to wear this silence Like a lock I cannot break [Pre-Chorus] Don’t open Keep it hidden Let it sink Let it stay Tears can fall But they stay caged In the dark Far away [Chorus] Keep the walls up Keep the cold, keep the ice Never again Keep the walls up No emotions, no love Just the dark within [Bridge] If the shell falls If the stone cracks If the old hurt gets back in I’ll still stand I’ll still shut down I’ll still bury it within Let the tears fall Let them burn out Let the silence take the blame When the walls fall I go back to The nothingness again [Final Chorus] Keep the walls up Keep the walls up Keep the cold, keep the ice Never again Keep the walls up Keep the walls up No emotions, no love Just the dark within
