Brick by Brick

These wall grow taller and more thick
You'd think I'm keeping something out, but I'm trapping myself in
Forever in my darkness is where I'm most at home
These demons start to wake to comfort my known heart
To conquer what I thought they'd lost, but only put on hold
These demons they can't leave me, they can only hope
To hide because I've built these walls for so long
All my pain is trapped inside

So what's the use in talking?
My inner voice understands me best
What's the use in reaching?
Will I get a helping hand?
So what's the use in talking?
My inner voice understand me best
What's the use in reaching?

I forgot how to feel anything more than pain
I'm aware the thoughts I have plague my mind
Consuming my reality it seems surreal
Just a vicious cycle

Caught in a sinkhole of my own self-worth
I'm going under by the weight of these poisonous thoughts
I can't shake this—finding myself getting weaker and weaker
The older I get, the further I drown

These walls grow taller
Brick by brick
These walls grow taller
Brick by brick

Betray my heart, devalue my mind, ignore my own advice
Setting this foundation, brick by brick I've come to find
I can't bear the thought of being let down by someone else
I'm finding new ways to hide
