| I built it thick and oh so tall Is there any freedom outside this wall The peace within is a blessing to me Try as they will, they won't know or see From what I hide, day in and day out Never to hear the words I shout The hands of times can pass me bye In my shell, I'm safe when I lie Stillness around, sleep will not come tonight In my mind there is only anger and fright To know me is to only ask why "Why won't you even try?" It's safe in this world of mine I tell them everything is fine With a joke, a smile and a little fun They are easy to fool, I'm a happy one Within this shell, blood runs ice cold There is no heart, so I have been told Throught these eyes I see many things Even little angles with soiled wings Each one has a story to make your skin crawl Could each little life be worth nothing at all From behind this wall I watch and wonder While deep inside I hear nothing but thunder God, help the person that sets me free From this pain locked inside of me Out of the soul the devil's desire comes to life Would cut out your heart with a blunt knife Like a atom that would divide in two Be careful, I don't turn on you From childhood I have felt only pain From the old man that appeared again and again To topple the wall could be freighting to see Could there be hidden love for you and me To help you only need to set me free If you can't, please let me be |
