lyrics

Mortar and stone
Arranged in rows
Fortifying a lie
Frivolous needs
Passions to feed
A fragile spirit must oblige

I build walls I don't want to build
I fight wars I don't want to fight

Marching around my city
I built I watch I'm waiting
Marching around my city
I know that they can see me
Marching around my city
In truth wanting and needing

I build walls I don't want to build
I fight wars I don't want to fight

My walls came tumbling down (x4)

I am the sum of all these broken parts
a mess of human wreckage that'll never restart
the straws you grasp in a drunken stupe
the lies you wall up in weak little proofs

I'm a bad president, a deadly terrorist
The embodiment of a generation of narcissists
I'm the needy children, the wealthy biggot
the stupid kid in wal-mart always throwing a fit

I'm a loser and a quitter, ugly and bitter
I'm the old shoes that keep giving you blisters
I'm the lover of loving and lust for another
I'm also the other and the other's ugly mother

I'm the disapproving voice in the back of your mind
The arrogant hipster with the eyebrows you despise
I'm the fool and the fool who follows him
The nerdy little kid that doesn't have any friends

I'm a picture of duality, the conflict of reality
Walled up in a prison of insecurity
Protected by barriers of impersonality
All that's wrong with all the wrong waiting in me

Seven times seven ways he surrounded my hate
Seven by seven God made his case
My walls came tumbling down
I am Jericho
