Lyrics
[Intro]
Quiet room
Heavy head
Every thought
Another thread
[Verse 1]
I laid them straight
Little doubts in a line
Said "I’m fine
I’m fine"
While I buried my light inside
Brick by brick
Built a castle of "later"
Closed my eyes to the sky
Called it safer
Called it safer
[Pre-Chorus]
But the air’s so thin in here
Can’t remember why I stayed
Every echo in my chest
Keeps calling my name
[Chorus]
Every brick I placed in my mind
Was a wall I fell behind
Stacked my fears up way too high
Till they swallowed up the sky
I’ve been locking myself from me
Now the cracks are all I see
If I built it
I can tear it down
I gotta break free
I gotta break free
[Verse 2]
All these rules
That I never agreed to
Every "can’t"
Every "won’t"
Like a chain I just slipped into
But there’s a spark
Sneaking in through the seams
Little rays on the floor
Painting maps of all my dreams (hey)
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel it in my bones
Every tremor
Every shake
If this prison is my own
It’s a prison I can break
[Chorus]
Every brick I placed in my mind
Was a wall I fell behind
Stacked my fears up way too high
Till they swallowed up the sky
I’ve been locking myself from me
Now the cracks are all I see
If I built it
I can tear it down
I gotta break free
I gotta break free
[Bridge]
Let the dust fly
Let the past slide
Let the hard stone crumble
From the inside
I’ll bleed through
Till the light gets in
If I lose these walls
That’s where I begin
[Chorus]
Every brick I placed in my mind
Was a wall I fell behind
But my hands are shaking loose
Every borrowed
Bitter lie
I’ve been locking myself from me
Now the cracks are all I see
If I built it
I can tear it down
I gotta break free
I gotta break free
(I gotta break, I gotta break)
(I gotta break, I gotta break free)
