every wall
[intro] (mhmmm) [Verse 1] Remember when we'd play in your backyard Building forts to keep the world away You said we'd always stay the same But I see changes day by day [Pre-chorus 1] You used to shield the smaller kids at school Now I watch you push them to the ground The walls you built to keep yourself safe Are closing in without a sound [Chorus] Every wall you build becomes a weapon (Oh-oh, every wall) Every shield you raise turns into steel (Oh-oh, turns to steel) Every wall you build becomes a weapon I don't recognize what I can feel [Verse 2] Those nights we spent just talking on the phone About the ones who tried to break us down Now your words cut just like stones And fear is what you're spreading 'round [Pre-chorus 2] The more they try to get inside your head The higher rises your defense But all these barriers that you create Are turning to offense [Chorus] Every wall you build becomes a weapon (Oh-oh, every wall) Every shield you raise turns into steel (Oh-oh, turns to steel) Every wall you build becomes a weapon I don't recognize what I can feel [Bridge] [Soft spoken] "Remember when you used to say That we would never be the ones to cause pain" [Chorus] Every wall you build becomes a weapon (La-la-la, every wall) Every shield you raise turns into steel (Oh-oh, turns to steel) Every wall you build becomes a weapon I barely recognize what I can feel [instrumental] [Verse 2] Those nights we spent just talking on the phone About the ones who tried to break us down Now your words cut just like stones And fear is what you're spreading 'round [Final Chorus] Every wall you build becomes a weapon (La-la-la, every wall) Every shield you raise turns into steel (Oh-oh, turns to steel) Every wall you build becomes a weapon I barely recognize what I can feel (I barely recognize what's real)
