the walls i build today
are the walls i will always depend on
to keep you away
the same walls will make you stay
alright, okay

the walls i build for you
are the walls we will share
they will tear
they will tear us in two
they will bury me on top of you

the walls define me, will serve me blindly
i tell myself today
but low in my mind, i know in time
the walls too tall to stay
they will all decay

the walls i will build, you will see
are the walls i will always depend on
to keep you with me
the same walls will set you free

the walls defend, will stand to the end
i tell myself today
but deep in my heart, i know we will part
the walls too tall to stay
will all fall away
alright, okay
