They say it can make you happy
Maybe a little sappy
It can make you sad
That's the thing about life & love
There's good & there's bad
Take one with the other & hope you rise above
A sacrifice, you see?
Seems a bit mad to me
Complete vulnerability
I've built a wall around me
It's miles high, scarred, chipped
and full of graffiti
They try to climb it or break through
Never knowing exactly what to do
They slide back down
with tears & a frown
while clawing & clinging on
They figure something's wrong
No one's ever been so right
It's hard to grip onto me tight
What they want has been gone
Over my wall
No one will belong
There is no green grass
no rainbow, no song
I once was vulnerable
but what I had inside me
is dead, buried & gone
My wall will not fall
It will never crumble
You can plead as you will
but beware of your tumble
