[Verse]
I built a castle out of shadows and stone
Held up by whispers I claimed as my own
Each brick a promise that I’d never depend
No room for strangers
No room for friends
[Prechorus]
The silence hums
It’s all I know
A fortress I’ve made
But it’s hollow
[Chorus]
I’ve been doing it all
Doing it all on my own
These walls of my own
They’ve grown
They’ve grown
Every knock at the door feels like a fight
I keep the world out to sleep at night
But it’s lonely
Oh
It’s lonely inside
[Verse 2]
I’ve mastered the art of a quiet retreat
Echoes of me are the ones I meet
The keys to my heart
I’ve hidden so well
Lost in a maze where I chose to dwell
[Prechorus]
The silence hums
It’s all I know
A fortress I’ve made
But it’s hollow
[Chorus]
I’ve been doing it all
Doing it all on my own
These walls of my own
They’ve grown
They’ve grown
Every knock at the door feels like a fight
I keep the world out to sleep at night
But it’s lonely
Oh
It’s lonely inside
