Strong buildings and walls mark the places No people, emotions, or faces Nothing to distract To pinpoint the fact That everything about you truly dazes My senses, my thoughts and willpower I'm fading away by the hour I'm drawing my wall On my arm, till you call Till you'll be tearing down my strong tower With your tongue please wipe my resistance Wipe my wall, erase from existence Fade the ink from my arm Make my icy core warm Kiss me right through the reticence This small man used to build far too high Felt like an ant, felt like a lie Gay seemed a wrong word Gay sounded unheard In your arms I stop wondering why Break down these walls with me tonight Wipe the ink, wipe all the lies Fade the once fake me Fade till you finally see How I shine smiling in your bright light
