I built these walls so high, can't see the sky
Every brick laid with a sign
From the tears I've cried, you might knock, might try
To reach me where I am
But I'm locked inside this fortress like a dam
I'm here but miles away, lost in my own space
Wearing a smile that doesn't reach my face
It's a silent breed, a complex art
Keeping me route with the walls around my heart
I'm standing in the light but in a different place
Holding back the flood, the sorrow and the pain
Emotionally adrift, keeping apart
With walls around my heart, I'm playing smart
It's not that I don't feel or feel too much
But I've learned to stay silent to avoid the touch
Of memories that hurt, our dreams turned to dust
In this fortress I've built, I've placed my trust
I built these walls so high, can't see the sky
Every brick laid with a sign
From the tears I've cried, you might knock, might try
To reach me where I am
But I'm locked inside this fortress like a dam
I'm here but miles away, lost in my own space
Wearing a smile that doesn't reach my face
It's a silent breed, a complex art
Keeping me route with the walls around my heart
Maybe one day these walls will crumble down
And I'll find a way to wear my heart without a frown
Until that day I'll keep my guard
But with walls around my heart it's hard to get far
So here I stand with a silent art
Propagating life with walls around my heart
Propagating life with walls around my heart
