[Verse 1]

I feel at home with shadows

From ghosts of the living,

I dance along to melodies

As silent choirs sing.

I'm sick of always giving

When there's nothing left to lose,

That place we're in is breaking

It's try to break me too.



[Chorus]

I built these walls

To keep the outside world from me,

And I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind,

It's safer on the inside.

Underneath where you can't ever get to me,

And I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind,

It's safer on the inside!

(Built these walls, it's safer on the inside,

Built these walls, it's safer on the inside)



[Verse 2]

Chaos reigns,

Inside of all of us.

All this pain,

It's not where I belong.

It's not my fate,

You're a hypocrite,

You're the dying proof of it,

Now I know!



[Bridge]

Broken people just like you can be so dangerous,

Knowing you'll survive by feeding off the rest of us.



[Chorus]

I built these walls

To keep the outside world from me,

And I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind,

It's safer on the inside.

Underneath where you can't ever get to me,

And I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind,

It's safer on the inside!



[Hook]

Built these walls, it's safer on the inside!

Built these walls, it's safer on the inside!

Built these walls, it's safer on the inside!

Built these walls, it's safer on the inside!

It's safer on the inside, it's safer on the inside!



[Outro]

I built these walls

To keep the outside world from me,

And I'll fight to stay in the hell of my own mind,

It's safer on the inside,

Safer on the inside,

It's safer on the inside!
