Brick by brick I'm building my walls, putting my guards up Making them tall, keeping the light out Shades on the windows, no looking inside Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keeping you locked outside
No more invasions, no infiltration, no invitations Turning out the light, closing the curtains Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keeping you locked outside
I consecrated the ground here And I made this my holy land I have watered the flowers and the plants here And I own every grain of sand I reclaim this small corner of earth here You can never take it from my hands And I'll wager a war if you come along I have sharpened defenses for battle here
So brick by brick I'm building my walls, putting my guards up Making them tall, keeping the light out Shades on the windows, no looking inside Feels like I'm safe here, there's where I hide You don't belong here, I'm keeping you locked outside Keeping you locked outside, oh
