Lyrics
[Intro] Mm Yeah
[Verse 1] Spoke it clear no filter no spin
Felt the room go quiet felt the truth settle in
They knew it was real you could see it in their eyes
Still they clung to the comfort wrapped up in disguise
[Hook] Soft little dream it feels so nice
But every night you pay a price
Brick by brick you're building the wall
And you're stuck inside it afraid to fall
[Verse 2] First look hurts like the sun in your face
Then your eyes adjust and it's a better place
What's hard at the start gets lighter with time
Open up the door step out of the line
[Hook] Soft little dream it feels so nice
But every night you pay a price
Brick by brick you're building the wall
And you're stuck inside it afraid to fall
[Verse 3] Woke up at noon with the blinds halfway down
Same four corners same side of town
Told myself tomorrow I'ma turn it around
Tomorrow came and went without a sound
Used to write goals on the back of a receipt
Now they crumpled in a pocket with the lint and the heat
I ain't broke I ain't bleeding I ain't out on the street
Just tired of the man that I'm starting to meet
[Bridge] And it's quiet in here
So quiet in here
Ain't nobody coming to knock on the door
So I gotta be the one to want more
[Verse 4] Called my brother just to hear him complain
Bout a job that he hates and a boss with no name
Told him hold on tight we gon figure it out
Then hung up and sat staring at the wall with my doubt
Funny how advice is easy to give
When you ain't the one that's got to live
With the mirror in the morning and the mirror at night
Asking who you gonna be when it's time to fight
[Hook] Soft little dream it feels so nice
But every night you pay a price
Brick by brick you're building the wall
And you're stuck inside it afraid to fall
[Verse 5] Started small just a walk round the block
Traded scrolling for a pen and a clock
Wrote a list of the things that I been putting off
Crossed one out and it felt like a lot
Ain't no lightning ain't no sudden change
Just a little less comfortable a little less strange
Told my reflection we gon take it slow
You don't gotta win today just don't let go
[Outro] Mm
Yeah
Step out the line
Step out the line
One brick at a time
Mm
(Step out the line)
One brick at a time
(Step out the line)
Yeah
Mm
