Build Around Your Heart a Wall |
In a vacant old park I watched from the dark |
The old church was on fire, I buried my lighter |
So no one could tell I was runnin' |
God forgive me but he had it comin' |
She was barely fifteen, midwest town sleepy scene |
I was two grades above her, completely in love with her |
One look from those eyes I was done in |
God forgive me but he had it coming |
It was deadly crooked fangs |
When outside a church bell clangs |
Well rise and fall curtain call |
Build around your heart a wall |
Of brick and stone both thick and tall |
Build around your heart a wall |
With my hand on her head, in her hospital bed |
And the secret she kept that would lead to her death |
Well that fucker he took what he wanted |
And I promised he’d get what was coming |
Well she never made a sound |
When he pushed her to the ground |
Well rise and fall curtain call |
Build around your heart a wall |
Of brick and stone both thick and tall |
Build around your heart a wall |
I tried to keep breathing as the last car was leaving |
Drank myself courageous, crept behind the stage |
Toward the target for which I was gunnin' |
God forgive me but he had it coming |
It was deadly crooked fangs |
When outside a church bell clangs |
Well rise and fall curtain call |
Build around your heart a wall |
Of brick and stone both thick and tall |
Build around your heart a wall |
Build around your heart a wall |
