Breaking down the walls

Lyrics

Verse 1 (Rap male) I built a system just to keep me safe Every rule I followed closed that gate I learned how to smile, learned to pretend I’ll never know how it ends (Sung female ) I’m wearing down every time I bend Trying to breathe, then I lose it again I keep it inside, never make a sound I’m holding on just to not break down Pre-Chorus (Sung – Tense female) Caught inside my head again Holding on till I can’t pretend Chorus (Call & Response) Rap (call male) It’s not my fault I gave all you got I built those walls just to take your shot— (Scream response female) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! (Rap call male) You told me stay quiet, stay in line You pushed me back every single time— (Scream response – explosive female) NOW YOU’RE BREAKING, BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! Verse 2 (Rap male) Head down, living with the noise Every move I make is still my choice Losing sleep just to feel control The harder I held, the less I hold (Sung female) I’m fading out every time I give in Trying to breathe but it’s under my skin I wanna run, I feel it near LET ME GO! (sung loud female) BUT I’M STUCK RIGHT HERE! (SCREAM female) Pre-Chorus (Sung female) Every word cuts deeper now I can’t keep holding this down Chorus (Call & Response) Rap (call male) It’s not my fault I gave all you got I built those walls just to take your shot— (Scream response female) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! Rap( call male) You told me stay quiet, stay in line You pushed me back every single time— (Scream response – explosive female) NOW YOU’RE BREAKING, BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! Bridge / Breakdown (Half-Time) (Male) Shut down Pushed back Everything I never said Held down Locked in By the fear inside my head Final Chorus Rap (overlapping) Not my fault—built these walls—took your shot— Scream (female) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! NOW YOU’RE BREAKING, BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS!
