I've built these walls
And coated them with happiness,
Bright and cheerful,
But that's a lie.

I've built these walls
That none have managed to crack,
Standing strong,
But I'm trapped inside.

I've built these walls
To hide from my fears,
Locked away forever,
But now I want to leave.

I've built these walls
So that nothing outside could hurt me,
With my own hands,
But these walls have hurt me the most.

I've built these walls
And still no one has saved me,
Afraid of what I created,
Lying awake at night.
