Brick by brick
I'm building my walls putting my guards up
Making them tall keeping the light out
Shades on the windows no looking inside
Feels like I'm safe here there's where I hide
You don't belong here I'm keeping you locked outside
No more invasions no infiltration no invitations
Turning out the light closing the curtains
Feels like I'm safe here there's where I hide
You don't belong here I'm keeping you locked outside
I consecrated the ground here
And I made this my holy land
I have watered the flowers and the plants here
And I own every grain of sand
I reclaim this small corner of earth here
You can never take it from my hands
And I'll wager a war if you come along
I have sharpened defenses for battle here
So brick by brick
I'm building my walls putting my guards up
Making them tall keeping the light out
Shades on the windows no looking inside
Feels like I'm safe here there's where I hide
You don't belong here I'm keeping you locked outside
Keeping you locked outside oh
Don't lose don't lose don't lose yourself
Don't lose don't lose don't lose yourself
Don't lose don't lose don't lose yourself oh
I consecrated the ground here
And I made this my holy land
I have watered the flowers and the plants here
And I own every grain of sand
I reclaim this small corner of earth here
You can never take it from my hands
And I'll wager a war if you come along
I have sharpened defenses for battle here
So brick by brick
I'm building my walls putting my guards up
Making them tall keeping the light out
Shades on the windows no looking inside
Feels like I'm safe here there's where I hide
You don't belong here I'm keeping you locked outside
Keeping you locked outside oh
