The Great Wall

Truth beyond words
I can feel beyond hurt
I see through you to what lies within
There is a world
Beyond what is heard
Voices betray the child within

(Hide behind the lie…)
Hide behind a lie what you’re frightened by
(Wall yourself inside…)
Wall yourself inside this den of lions
(How high does it go…)
How high does it go? What pain lies below
(Stones of memories…)
Stones of memories you never let go?

Run away, cannot face
Your demons hidden
All you are, try too hard
To build this great wall
Another lie, one more time
Who do you think you are?
Soon you’ll find, you’re trapped inside
This great wall

(The… Great… Wall)
Brick and mortar
(The… Great… Wall)
Walls won’t collapse
(The… Great… Wall)
No matter how hard you try
I hurt so much

(The… Great… Wall)
Selfishness takes hold
(The… Great… Wall)
I just can’t take anymore
(The… Great… Wall)
Every word now a lie in my eyes…
I feel I must protect me

Fear lies within, life lives without
Everything’s turned upside down
I cannot reach through, I cannot reach you
This wall’s built to last forever

Cold as stone, you’re so alone
The weight of it all can crush you
In this catacomb, so many sins to atone
Why won’t you try, why must you..

(Hide behind the lie…)
Hide behind a lie what you’re frightened by
(Wall yourself inside…)
Wall yourself inside this den of lions
(How high does it go…)
How high does it go? What pain lies below
(Stones of memories…)
Stones of memories you never let go?

Run away, cannot face
Your demons hidden
All you are, try too hard
To build this great wall
Another lie, one more time
Who do you think you are?
Soon you’ll find, you’re trapped inside
This great wall

(The… Great… Wall)
Brick and mortar
(The… Great… Wall)
Walls won’t collapse
(The… Great… Wall)
No matter how hard you try
I hurt so much

(The… Great… Wall)
Selfishness takes hold
(The… Great… Wall)
I just can’t take anymore
(The… Great… Wall)
Every word now a lie in my eyes…
I feel I must protect me

I see through you, to what lies within
This great wall
Great wall
