wall around my heart

maybe this time i learn

i've played the fool

but i'm sick and tired of jumping hurtles

giving with no return

what's the use?

all i do is run in circles

on this glorious day

brick by brick i lay

alone here in the dark

this messed up work of art

i'm building

i'm building

witness the construction

of a wall around my heart

through these tears i cry

evidence

evidence of former sadness

blurry are my eyes

a reservoir

welling up from all the damage

on this glorious day

brick by brick i lay

alone here in the dark

this messed up work of art

i'm building

i'm building

witness the construction

of a wall around my heart

oh yes i'm building

oh darling it's no use

you no longer can get through

on this glorious day

brick by brick i lay

alone here in the dark

this messed up work of art

i'm building

i'm building

witness the construction

of a wall around my heart
