[Verse 1: Jamie Madrox]
I wanna be happy, like people in pictures I see on the doctor walls
I wanna feel better all by myself without the help of drugs or alcohol
I wanna be social, kind of friendly with great subjects to talk about
But when I come in contact with others, I'd rather just go and shut my mouth

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both]
I built these walls (To keep this things in line)
It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind)
I built these walls (To help with my head)
It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead

[Verse 2: Monoxide]
It's a struggle for me to try to exist inside a bubble
I'll admit I often stumble, I'm no diff
Feel the pressure losing grip
Speak your mind or bite your lip
Either stand or take a sit
From the info that you get
No one knows of it's legit
I don't really care anymore
I know it sounds selfish, but what am I helping it for
No one really cares anymore
I know it sounds helpless, know it sounds helpless

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both]
I built these walls (To keep this things in line)
It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind)
I built these walls (To help with my head)
It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead
[Bridge: Jamie Madrox]
I wanna be happy, like people in pictures I see on the doctor walls
I wanna feel better all by myself without the help of drugs or alcohol
I wanna be social, kind of friendly with great subjects to talk about
But when I come in contact with others, I'd rather just go and shut my mouth

[Chorus: Jamie Madrox, Monoxide, both]
I built these walls (To keep this things in line)
It seems these walls (They'll lock me up in my mind)
I built these walls (To help with my head)
It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead

[Outro: Both & Jamie Madrox]
Have me dead instead
Have me dead instead
It seems these walls would rather have me dead instead
