Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I spoke it plain no mask no art
And something in the room stood still
They felt it land inside their chest
But turned away and chose the thrill
[Pre-Chorus]
The truth was ringing loud and clear
Yet comfort held them tighter here
[Chorus]
They'd rather dream than see the day
Stack the bricks and call it home
The walls go up the light stays out
And no one knows they're built alone
Built alone
Built alone
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
It's heavy when the eyes first open
Like sunlight on a sleeper's face
But give it time it softens down
And the dark won't hold its place
[Pre-Chorus]
The truth was ringing loud and clear
Yet comfort held them tighter here
[Chorus]
They'd rather dream than see the day
Stack the bricks and call it home
The walls go up the light stays out
And no one knows they're built alone
Built alone
Built alone
[Bridge]
So tear it down
Brick by brick
Tear it down
Let it fall
[Final Chorus]
They'd rather dream than see the day
Stack the bricks and call it home
The walls go up the light stays out
And no one knows they're built alone
Built alone
Built alone
[Outro]
Built alone
