The way we all hide from what we don't want to face

I have a wall, to protect and to hide, So no one knows how I feel deep
inside 

I can't get hurt, I can't feel I have no room for nothing at all 

Each time I think  I can tear it down, Something happens, where my wall
gets higher and thicker, layer after layer, brick after brick Its 
gotten so bad, its gotten so thick 

I want to see what's beyond this wall, But I'm too scared to those who
see Finding out what's really true about how I feel 

I'm too scared to get hurt Too scared to cry I don't know what I hold
deep inside 

Will people laugh and poke fun Of what I have just undone 

Is my helping or is it just hurting What should I do, how should I act 

What does it feel like to find a real love Or is that just a story told
over and over 

I can't handle the pain and the stress of not knowing What's beyond this
wall of protection 

Does it protect, if not how do I know For the only one I trust is me
myself and I 

I don't know what I should do Live in this shelter or live in danger 

Any suggestions, any ideas What does it matter, I can't trust you Or
anyone else for that matter And when its all over I have one thing to 
say We'll all be dead inside walls of our own
