I am closed to the public
Renovations inside
Blocked congested sick
Quarantined walls within divide
I cannot confess
Walls inside blocks of thick cement
Inside I hold my own congress
Trying trying hard to repent
Walls within hate sunlight
My emotions vampires to daylight
My feelings cannot penetrate outside
Inside I cry outside to much pride
My emotions partition
Multiply guard when I try escape
A hostage on my heart masking tape
To kidnap myself was my intention
Walls within fitted with bars
Landmines that will blow you to the stars
No one is getting in or out
I will not come out never conform
I don't want to know what you talking about
You have no idea within these walls the storm

There to pin down
Wall Around My Heart
The wall around my heart
Was built brick by brick
As you consistently,
Day by day, month by month,
And year
by Tom Mcmurray
I turn away the light of truth,
though bright it shines eternally;
as I now search the dark of youth
for life devoid of

I am closed to the public
Renovations inside
Blocked congested sick
Quarantined walls within divide
I cannot confess
Walls inside
