The Wall Itself Lyrics

Brick by brick, I built this wall

To hide the boy I used to be

A fortress strong, emotions locked away

The key, thrown to the sea

She doesn't love the man behind

But the mystery I've become

A cold facade, a blank canvas

For her dreams to paint upon

Unframed men dance for validation

Spotlight seekers in the night

But I stand tall, unmoved, unwavering

A king in silent might

The wall is love, the wall is strength

A shield against her chaos storm

She falls for what she cannot see

As I remain unformed

Imagination fills the gaps

Where once my words would flow

The less I speak, the more she yearns

This dance of high and low

To drop the wall would kill the spell

The magic she holds dear

So I remain behind these stones

Both far away and near

The wall is love, the wall is strength

A fortress built on sand

She loves the shadow that I cast

Not the hidden man

Brick by brick, I'll keep it standing

This wall between us two

For in the silence of my strength

She finds her love anew
