Breaking down the walls

Lyrics

(Female scream) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS 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 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 (sung female) It’s not my fault I gave all you got I built those walls just to take your shot— (Female scream)BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! You told me stay quiet, stay in line You pushed me back every single time— (Female scream)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 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 (Female scream))LET ME GO! BUT I’M STUCK RIGHT HERE! Pre-Chorus (Sung female) Every word cuts deeper now I can’t keep holding this down (Male) It’s not my fault I gave all you got I built those walls just to take your shot— (Female scream) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS! You told me stay quiet, stay in line You pushed me back every single time— (Female scream)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 (Female) BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS Final Chorus (Female) Not my fault—built these walls—took your shot (female) NOW YOU’RE BREAKING, BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS!
