The barrier
I builtLong and smooth
One very glassImpenetrable
I own itI can Let it be
A Glass wallInstead of a mirror
My defenseYou can't see me
And I can keep you outSafe and dry I live
Little liesNo damage
One way glassA Barrier
It Protects meNo one
Gets throughA barrier
A protectorA little way to make
Us distantDistant
Is the wayI like it
The only safeWay
I lie toMake it thick
Truth makes it thin
That's when youGet close
Lying gives
Me a back pad
To crash on
Been putting itUp for so
LongI don't know
How to takeIt down
I dontBut some do
I Can't help itThey have Poison
They poisonThe barrier
Break itHit it with
A SledgehammerYou can take it down
Then I can'tPut it up
Again
