Cary Ann Hearst – Build Around Your Heart A Wall

In A Vacant Old Park
I Watched From The Dark
The Old Church Was On Fire
I Buried My Lighter
So No One Could Tell I Was Runnin
God Forgive Me But He Had It Comin
She Was Barely Fifteen
Midwest Town Sleepy Scene
I Was Two Grades Above Her
Completely In Love With Her
One Look From Those Eyes I Was Done In
God Forgive Me But He Had It Comin
It Was Deadly Crooked Fangs
But Outside A Church Bell Clangs
Well Rise And Fall, Curtain Call
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Brick And Stone Both Thick And Tall
Build Around Your Heart A Wall

With My Hand On Her Head
In A Hospital Bed
In The Secrets She Kept
That Would Lead To Her Death
Well The Fucker Had Took What He Wanted
And I Promised He’d Get What Was Comin
But She Never Made A Sound
When He Pushed Her To The Ground
Well Rise And Fall, Curtain Call
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Of Brick And Stone Both Thick And Tall
Build Around Your Heart A Wall

I Tried To Keep Breathin
As The Last Car Was Leavin
Drank Myself Courageous
Crept Behind The Stage
Towards The Target For Which I Was Gunnin
God Forgive Me But He Had It Comin
It Was Deadly Crooked Fangs
But Outside A Church Bell Clangs
Well Rise And Fall, Curtain Call
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Brick And Stone Both Thick And Tall
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
