The crumbling walls of my castle
The one I built to shelter with love
People who I knew not with facades
Facades like rust slowly corroding
The pillars of my heart supporting them.

Yes they took advantage and I let them
Over and over again till I'm consumed
Like the moon they shone in my light
Yet I wouldn't flicker off the flame
Wish they knew the walls of mercy were collapsing
