I'm a son to my mother A man to my father Same blood in the water Different skies that we hide That we hide That we hide My friends are sisters and brothers They guard me with honor But my skin is the armor So they can't see inside See inside See inside Oh no, they can't see inside Can't see inside Can't see inside I built my walls to the sky Walls to the sky Walls to the sky Oh you, you don't know who I am I fight the demons the best I can Oh you, you don't know who I am And maybe, you'll never understand All that I am I hung my stains from the preacher Suit and tie for the reaper If I mask my demeanor Is it all just a lie? Just a lie? Just a lie? Oh, I've had some dark, dark days But the face I wear exists in the light Exists in the light Oh no, they can't see inside Can't see inside Can't see inside I built my walls to the sky Walls to the sky Walls to the sky Oh you, you don't know who I am I fight the demons the best I can Oh you, you don't know who I am And maybe, you'll never understand All that I am All that I am
