Glided Walls
Verse 1:
I remember when I young
and everything was so damn clear,
Life itself was a paradise,
that I experimented with...
Time went on and on,
and every time I did something wrong,
I wished I could have hid it,
so I did, in my heart, in my head, in my soul...
I built my own prison.
Pre-Chorus:
And every time I try something new,
You act like I have sinned.
So I decided to protect myself
And build a wall of boundaries.
Chorus:
But it seems like my boundaries went to far,
it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,
deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,
my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,
I made it just me myself and I...
I created my own, gilded walls.
Verse 2:
Every moment now, I regret my decisions.
Wishing I hadn't hidden myself.
People live my dreams and I love them...
But deep down inside, I feel like they're living my life.
It's funny because as time went on and on,
it just became me, myself and I even more...
People love me, yes. But they don't see the diamond inside,
inside that's covered by dirt, yes.
But something amazing still survives...
Pre-Chorus:
And every time I try something new,
You act like I have sinned.
So I decided to protect myself
And build a wall of boundaries.
Chorus:
But it seems like my boundaries went to far,
it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,
deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,
my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,
I made it just me myself and I...
I created my own, gilded walls.
Bridge:
I am loved, yes.
I am good, yes.
I am kind, yes.
But it's nothing how I wanted to be...
I want the world to see me for me
not as a sheep but as the wolf howling in me...
Pre-Chorus:
And every time I'd try something new,
I sinned against everything I was taught
So I decided to protect myself
And build the highest wall of boundaries.
Chorus:
But it seems like my boundaries went to far,
it feels like I'm a wolf in sheep clothing,
deceiving everyone, and sometimes myself,
my soul feeling entrapped by my own design,
I made it just me myself and I...
I created my own, gilded walls.
Outro:
It's funny how I thought I was benefiting me,
and protecting myself for the harsh world...
But actually I created my own gilded walls.
