Lyrics

Brick by brick, from day one
The odds were stacked against me
Brick by brick, overrun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free
Bleary eyes
Trace the lines
I cross between
I can't see if the grass is green
Or if the garden is dead and twisted
Like me on the inside
Like me on the inside now
Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free
Stranded by what confronts me
I escape with what I choose to breathe
The odds were stacked against me
Now the walls that surround me
Block the sun
Block the sun
Block the sun
Block the sun
Block out the sun
Stranded by what comforts me
Life's a nightmare blooming free
Stranded by what confronts me
I escape with what I choose to breathe
Choose to breathe
(The odds were stacked against me)
(The odds were stacked against me)
