The Bricks

I walk in shadows, to hide my eyes, I wear this smile, as my disguise. I pray that they don't recognise me Or the pain that they cause me. Brick by brick I build this wall Now I'm trapped Can't let it fall! Brick by brick I build this wall Now I'm trapped I can't let it fall! Ignore their calls, I hide at home On my own, I'm free to roam The fear of rejection controls my life As it balances on, the edge of a knife Misophonic, misanthropic Will to live: microscopic. Isolation, procrastination, I'm feeling like this burned-out nation.
