I leave behind this sentiment to the man that I'll become

Telling him not to be burdened by the things that I have done

The longest days and endless nights have become the routine

Far beyond frustration, it's the end to all my means

Constantly incomplete

With my back against the wall, I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this, like this, like this

With my back against the wall, I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this

Well, I may not be forgiven but I forgave and I forget

Going through the motions is no way to exist

So, if there's anybody out there that you're sick of feelin' alone

Has the damage already been done?

You gotta get from underneath that gun

We walk before we run

With my back against the wall, I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this, like this, like this

With my back against the wall, I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this

Move me, choose me, please, before you loose me

Find me, drive me, end the things that pride me

Move me, improve me, ignite the flame that ruled me

Guide me, collide me, I need something to survive me

With my back against the wall

I will rise above them all

Comin' back against the wall

I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this, like this, like this

With my back against the wall, I stack brick, by brick, by brick, by brick

I will rise above them all, like this, like this
