We Built a Palisade
We built a palisade
On the hillside
And everyone watched
As bitter roots divided our lives
And all at once
Were taken by the landslide
I tried to hold tight
But lost
My hands were weaker then
Twisted from wringing those years
What phantom limbs
Disguised with skin
That covered my fears
Could never reach amends
For I was a hollow man
Filled with your hushed tragic tones
A whispered poem
Laid out in endless verses
That spoke to my heart alone
But you had your alibis
And I had no use for those lies
And we were tired of life
On the hillside
And everyone watched
As bitter roots divided our lives
And all at once
Were taken by the landslide
I tried to hold tight
But lost
My hands were weaker then
Twisted from wringing those years
What phantom limbs
Disguised with skin
That covered my fears
Could never reach amends
For I was a hollow man
Filled with your hushed tragic tones
A whispered poem
Laid out in endless verses
That spoke to my heart alone
But you had your alibis
And I had no use for those lies
And we were tired of life
