Averyx - Firewall Lyrics

[Intro]
Built these walls up brick by brick
Every memory's encrypted, every secret double-checked
Can't let nobody in, that's the mission
Digital fortress, emotional prison

[Verse 1]
Trust issues run deep like fiber optic cables
Table for one, I eat alone, I'm stable
Dad got jumped back in '99
Now I'm scanning every street at night
Ex girl moved silent, deleted our time
Found out through the feed she was never mine
Collaboration turned to sabotage
University days left me scarred and lost

[Chorus]
My firewall's up, don't try to breach it
My heart's locked down, you can't reach it
Been hurt before, now I'm bulletproof
Keep your distance, that's the golden rule
(Keep that firewall up)

[Verse 2]
Manchester streets got me paranoid
Every connection's potentially void
Daddy taught me trust is just a game
City lights flicker like warning flames
Working late, avoiding social scenes
Rather code alone than deal with these schemes
They call me cold, yeah I'm isolating
But peace of mind's worth the price I'm paying

[Bridge]
Sometimes I wonder what I'm missing
Behind these walls I built with precision
But every time I let them crack
The pain comes flooding, gotta pull it back

[Outro]
Built these walls up brick by brick
Every memory's encrypted, every secret's gonna stick
This is how I survive, this is how I live
Protected, connected, but alone in this bitch
