You build a wall around yourself
To keep what hurts from creeping in
Now that these walls have swallowed you
You reside alone for a few
In your darkened den

You never call
You never call
You close your blinds
So that the sun can’t see inside
You never call
You never call
I keep on asking myself
Why don’t you want to feel the sun

Behind the walls you wait
You watch the sun rise up each day
You fill each seam between the blocks
To keep the light away
If you would step outside
And soak the sun and all its rays
The heat would burn and peel the pain
That grows on you each day
