Honey stop building fencing walls
You already own castle misery
I'm sure no one else wants this place
No one inherits its mysteries
You can invite people to fairs and feasts but when the bellies are full they will pack up and leave
Honey stop building fencing walls
Stop hiding yourself away from me
I remember the day we rode out to sit by the old wishing well
But the road was wilder than before and then your poor horse tripped and fell
And I tried everything that I could but you wouldn't get up and get back on that horse
It's the day that Changed everything, the day that you started to sob and dwell
Honey when you first found this place no one had been here for years
You boarded up the windows and doors just to shut out all your fears
But no matter how many layers of planks you use they always trickle back in through the cracks
So you just built another wall using those old bricks your sweat and all of those fears
no matter how many fears you shut out those castle doors
There will be a new one every year to tear down the wall of the year before
Where did you get the idea that they come from outside of this fortress you built for yourself
No they come from inside of here, they come from inside of your cell
Honey stop building fencing walls, you already own castle misery
