[Key=A], [BPM=85]

Intro: Rhodes Piano Riff, Drum Riff, Ambient

Verse 1

Pulled the shades down low against the midday sun

Told myself the hardest part was finally done

Pulled the rug up tight, locked the deadbolt twice

Trading in the open air for cold ice

Living on the echo of a quiet room

Waiting out the shadow of a heavy moon

Pre-Chorus

It's easy to slip right off the grid

Hiding away like I always did

Just needed time for the dust to clear

And figure out how I ended up here

Chorus

Inside these walls of solitude

I built a fortress for a temporary mood

Four safe corners, a place to heal

A quiet sanctuary from the things I feel

It's a shelter for a season, not a place to stay

And these walls of solitude are breaking down today

Hook

Breaking down, stone by stone

I don't have to face the dark alone

Yeah, stone by stone

Verse 2

Watched the world keep turning through a windowpane

Safe behind the glass away from all the rain

You can convince yourself that you're alright

Just keeping out the noise, keeping out the light

But every heart needs room to breathe

And there's a whole wide world waiting under my sleeve

Pre-Chorus

It's easy to slip right off the grid

Hiding away like I always did

Just needed time for the dust to clear

And figure out how I ended up here

Chorus

Inside these walls of solitude

I built a fortress for a temporary mood

Four safe corners, a place to heal

A quiet sanctuary from the things I feel

It's a shelter for a season, not a place to stay

And these walls of solitude are breaking down today

Hook

Breaking down, stone by stone

I don't have to face the dark alone

Yeah, stone by stone

Guitar Solo

Bridge

Solitude is a necessary rest

A place to gather up what's left in your chest

It isn't a sentence, it isn't the end

Just a quiet doorway where you start again

Chorus

Inside these walls of solitude

I built a fortress for a temporary mood

Four safe corners, a place to heal

A quiet sanctuary from the things I feel

It's a shelter for a season, not a place to stay

And these walls of solitude are breaking down today

Hook

Breaking down, stone by stone

I don't have to face the dark alone

Yeah, stone by stone

Outro

Unlocking the door

Stepping out across the floor

The sun is warm, the air is clear

I'm standing right here

Breaking down the walls

Watch 'em fall

Watch 'em fall...

With these walls of solitude...

Breaking down TODAY!
