My Great Wall

Take a vow
Carry it to the grave
Fear and doubt
The eyes of a hurricane
I hold back these black emotions
Slam shut the door that's open

Never break
The monster behind the mask
Secrets safe
This side of the looking glass
You don't want to see what's under
Under the surface

So brick by brick I built it up
To isolate, to shut them out
But cracks run deep inside this vault
Can you tear it down?
Tear down my Great Wall

In this abyss
There's only room for one
Bottomless
Shadows devour the Sun
You're too closе to know what's sleeping
I'll drag you down here with me

Through thе barricades you crash
My defense is fading fast
You're too close to know what's coming
But this is your warning

So I flash you a saccharin smile
Distract from my own exile
It's not safe in this skin
Hold my breath
Keep it in
Count to ten
till it's over?
