wishing you'd come and lay your body next to mine
A subtle fortress I create to keep me safe from all the wolves waiting outside
They've been howling and prowling and scouring the room for fools like me
If cloth and wool keep me protected, then imagine in your arms how safe I'd be?
Won't you lift me to my feet and keep me from crawling
on my hands and bleeding knees like I've been for so long?
My father alway taught me, "boy, you've got to build some castles in your heart."
So I did, but now I feel like they've been under siege and burned and torn apart
If my faith made up the mortar and my confidence was in each brick that I laid
Then perhaps I tore down my own walls to find a good stone for my grave
Won't you repair me? - for I've grown tired of mending myself
What peace can you bring to nullify how much I've failed?
Won't you lift me to my feet and keep me from crawling
on my hands and bleeding knees like I've been for so long?
Won't you take this weight from me? For I've been desperately calling
Show me how to be a better man in spite of all the things that I've done wrong
