I'm happy with the walls I've built,
They keep me safe inside,
My secrets are locked away here,
And no one knows why,

I can fake indifference,
I can fake surprise,
I can tell if you're lying,
I'm just one of a kind,

Though these walls are crumbling,
And my sky is quivering,
My knees are buckling,
I think I'm surrendering
