Maybe I been building walls

Too high to climb
I hope you know it's not your fault
It’s by design
I know I been a lot of things
But I won’t be a burden
I won’t be that person
That calls you when I’m hurting

In the middle of the night
In the back of my mind
Like chill running down my neck
So, I bite my tongue
And I lie in self-defense

Ask me how I been
I’ll say I’m great
But under my skin
I’m not ok
Honey I been scared to death
Looking in the mirror
Just another day
In the kingdom of fear
