I'm a son to my mother

A man to my father

Same blood in the water

Different skies that we hide

That we hide

That we hide

My friends are sisters and brothers

They guard me with honor

But my skin is the armor

So they can't see inside

See inside

See inside.

Oh no, they can't see inside

Can't see inside

Can't see inside

I built my walls to the sky

Walls to the sky

Walls to the sky.

Oh you, you don't know who I am

I fight the demons the best I can

Oh you, you don't know who I am

And maybe, you'll never understand

All that I am.

I hung my stains from the preacher

Suit and tie for the reaper

If I mask my demeanor

Is it all just a lie?

Just a lie?

Just a lie?

Oh, I've had some dark, dark days

But the face I wear exists in the light

Exists in the light.

Oh no, they can't see inside

Can't see inside

Can't see inside

I built my walls to the sky

Walls to the sky

Walls to the sky.

Oh you, you don't know who I am

I fight the demons the best I can

Oh you, you don't know who I am

And maybe, you'll never understand

All that I am

All that I am.
