Walls i Build
[Intro – low piano + distant heartbeat sound] Yeah… I kept building, brick by brick… Now I’m stuck behind it. [Hook] These walls I built, they keep me safe, But I can’t breathe in this empty space. Locked myself out from the world outside, Told myself it’s strength, but it’s just my pride. These walls I built, high and cold, Shelter my heart but they cage my soul. Thought I was strong, but the truth I see, The walls I built are destroying me. [Verse 1] Every scar, every wound, every broken night, Stacked another brick, thought it made me right. Said “trust no one, they don’t care at all,” But silence is the loudest when you build that wall. [Verse 2] Friends turned shadows, voices I ignored, Pain was the architect, fear the core. I painted strength on a fragile face, But alone in the dark, I can’t escape. [Hook] These walls I built, they keep me safe, But I can’t breathe in this empty space. Locked myself out from the world outside, Told myself it’s strength, but it’s just my pride. These walls I built, high and cold, Shelter my heart but they cage my soul. Thought I was strong, but the truth I see, The walls I built are destroying me. [Verse 3] I hear the voices from the track before, Still screaming louder through a broken door. They tell me “break it, don’t hide away,” But fear keeps whispering, “you’re not okay.” [Verse 4] Yeah, these hands are bleeding from the stones I laid, I buried my joy in the mess I made. I thought isolation was my only friend, But these walls don’t protect — they just defend. [Hook – layered & emotional] These walls I built, they keep me safe, But I can’t breathe in this empty space. Locked myself out from the world outside, Told myself it’s strength, but it’s just my pride. These walls I built, high and cold, Shelter my heart but they cage my soul. Thought I was strong, but the truth I see, The walls I built are destroying me. [Bridge – cinematic strings build] Brick by brick, I shut them out, But now I’m drowning in my doubt. Every wall I thought would heal, Just reminds me pain is real. [Verse 5] I see a crack now, light breaking through, Maybe I can face what I tried to lose. The walls still stand, but they start to shake, I’m learning now what it means to break. [Verse 6] And maybe shadows never really lie, They reflect the pain I’ve tried to hide. But the chains I wear can turn to dust, If I break these walls and learn to trust. [Final Hook – massive lift, choir pads + orchestra] These walls I built, they keep me safe, But I can’t breathe in this empty space. Locked myself out from the world outside, Told myself it’s strength, but it’s just my pride. These walls I built, high and cold, Shelter my heart but they cage my soul. Thought I was strong, but the truth I see, The walls I built are destroying me. [Outro – piano fades, distant crackling stone sounds] Yeah… The walls are shaking… Shadows never lie.
