oh the games we play

brick by brick
we build these walls around
our frightened heads
avoiding the thoughts we dread

to protect us from
each and everyone

oh the games we play
to keep the demons at bay
all the tricks up our sleeves
ready to make our escape
hoping the traps that we set
keep us just a step ahead

inch by inch
we sink further in our shell
retreat within
our homemade prison cell

hoping the traps that we set
keep us just a step ahead
and if were lucky enough
they wont spring on us instead

please protect us from
each and everyone
