Bricks (instrumental) The Wall lyrics: J. Morse © 1985 I let you reign over my emotions, leading me along Like the rhythm of a song that sways the soul I had a fortress built around my feelings, blocking everyone I couldn't see the sun over the wall You lifted me And bits and pieces of the masonry fell away Soon I could see That you were there to get me through the next day And though I'd Been locking it up inside as I hid behind my wall It all came Flowing out of me the moment I saw it fall Take me away, take me away I don't even want to see the foundation You're all I need, you're all I need Then. . . the accusation Further and further, my heart fell away, sinking way too deep The secrets made me weep till I was dry I started to build another wall around me, then you reappeared Exactly what I feared, I can't say why You lifted me again And bits and pieces of the masonry fell away Soon I could see That you were there to get me through the next day And though I'd Been locking it up inside as I hid behind my wall It all came Flowing out of me the moment I saw it fall Take me away, take me away Face me forward so I don't see where I've been What did you say, what did you say? Oh, no, you've done it to me again What a masquerade. . . why'd you show me The brightest side of you And then turn the other way Oh, what a game we've played The dice are always loaded When it's my turn to go You'd think I'd know better, but oh, no. . . When you're lifting me Bits and pieces of my past fall and float away When will I see When will I really wake up and see through the haze? One of these days when I'm not looking, you know you'll come along Like the siren's song, you'll steal my soul again But until that day, I'll just keep on building, saying another prayer Placing another layer of bricks on my wall. . . |
