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
