Lyrics

Unlaid me brick by brick ‘til I was dust
Oxidized my pipes ‘til I was rust
I used to be a temple
Now, I’m just a hole looking up

Your parade’s just a stampede through my streets
I’m trodden, but you haven’t seen the last of me

I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
I won’t let you in, won’t let me out
I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock me down

Now the sparkle in your eyes in just a flame
Those sweet things you used to call me, they’re just names
The tears you thought you saw me crying
Baby, that was just the rain

From here on out, I’m just a ghost in your dreams
Every love you’ll have is just a lack of me

I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
I won’t let you in, won’t let me out
I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock me down

Take these boards and make them splinters
Turn my summer into winter
All your selfless deeds are sinister now
You took all my white and stained it out

I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
I won’t let you in, won’t let me out
I’ll build my walls so high, you can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock ‘em down
You can’t knock me down
