i built a wall
Mar. 17th, 2003 09:07 pmi built a wall
to keep out the pain and the hurt
oh i built a wall
over which i called jokes to you
i built a wall
and thought i'd be more secure
but i built a wall
that trapped in my fears
and held myself
with nowhere to release the tension
that bulges the wall i built
and threatens to burst it
again in an explosion
and then i'll sit in the wreckage and cry
till i pull myself up
dust myself off
try to put it behind me
but close it in with me
as i built another wall.
