Verse 1
I built a goddamn fortress with the bones of yesterday,
Every scar’s another brick that never washed away.
You keep reaching for the wreck beneath my crooked grin,
But every time you get too close, I fucking cave back in.
I wear a smile like body armor, polished up with lies,
Meanwhile every sleepless night is burning through my eyes.
I’m sick of hearing, “You’ll be fine,” from people passing through—
How the hell could they know what the fuck I’ve lived through?
Pre-Chorus
Every lock I fucking turned
Was another lesson learned.
Now I’m choking on the silence that I made…
Chorus
These walls don’t fucking save me—
They bury me alive.
I’m screaming through the concrete
Just to prove I’m still alive.
Every goddamn doorway
Is another place I hide.
I built this cage to keep the pain out…
Now I can’t let anybody inside.
Verse 2
Every promise sounds like static, every touch feels counterfeit.
Hope’s another loaded gun, and I’m too tired for this shit.
I’m my own worst enemy, my own disease to feed,
Planting fucking minefields where somebody tried to breathe.
I’ve memorized the sound of everybody walking out.
It’s easier to hate myself than live with fucking doubt.
So I slam another deadbolt, throw away the key,
Then wonder why this lonely hell keeps swallowing me.
Pre-Chorus
Every scar became a chain,
Every memory feeds the flame.
I’ve been bleeding in a room without a name…
Chorus
These walls don’t fucking save me—
They bury me alive.
I’m screaming through the concrete
Just to prove I’m still alive.
Every goddamn doorway
Is another place I hide.
I built this cage to keep the pain out…
Now I can’t let anybody inside.
Bridge (Half-time, screamed)
Kick the fucking door in!
Burn this prison down!
I’m sick of being haunted
By the echoes in my skull!
If I let you see me broken…
Would you fucking stay?
Or am I just another ghost
You’ll leave to rot away?
Breakdown (Heavy, screamed)
Fuck these walls!
Fuck this fear!
Fuck the voice that dragged me here!
I’m done digging my own grave!
I’m done being my own chains!
If this hell was built by me…
Then I’ll tear it down brick by fucking brick!
Final Chorus
These walls won’t fucking own me,
I’m clawing through the stone.
The only thing that’s killing me
Was thinking I’m alone.
If you hear me calling,
Don’t let me disappear.
Sometimes the strongest scream for help…
Is never fucking heard.
Outro
Brick by brick…
I built this hell.
Brick by brick…
I’ll break the spell.
Even if my hands bleed dry…
I’ll tear these fucking walls down…
Or die trying.
