<b>Build Around Your Heart A Wall</b> by <i>Cary Ann Hearst</i><br />

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
