lyrics

Don't even bother with your games no more. You never play by the rules. Feeling hollow, I don't care no more. Baby, I always loose. I'm building this wall to keep me from harm. Lying down the slab. Foundation is done and now the concrete is on. Protect me from all your low jabs. Deep in the ground where you brought me down. Standing 9ft tall, my wall will never fall. Stable strong and firm, nothing it can't endure. Standing 9ft tall, my wall will never fall.

Trying to break through my exterior, oh I can sense your rue. Don't even bother, I don't care no more. Baby, it's time you loose. Intrusion or weather, unbalanced levels, I've learned from my mistakes. Manipulate me or instigate, ain't gonna fall unless the earth starts to shake. Sticks and stones they might break my bones. Your words will never hurt me again. My new wall it won't ever fall. I'll never hear a word that you say.
