	Folks compare the tone and style of this tune to Tori Amos. "And you can thank everyone who said/'I can take the walls down in one night'/came at me like a nuclear bomb/then ran from the fallout in fright/Then the walls come back/more than before/with thicker vines/blacker roses/sharper thorns..."

	Story Behind the Song It's one of those songs born out of pain, folks. It's about what happens when someone comes into your life, knocks all your walls down, gets inside - and then disappears on you. And then, your walls go back up even higher than before. I wanted som sort of a balance, so in this song, I wanted to toy with the idea of bringing the walls down, but brick by brick, rather than all at once. Seems a bit safer, eh? Lyrics BRICK BY BRICK (THIS TIME) (Copyright 1998 Tamara S. Vilke. All rights reserved.) VERSE And you can thank everyone Who tried to get to me Everyone who simply chose To try, convict and punish me They each gave me A brick for this wall And up against it You know I feel kinda small VERSE And you can thank everyone Who made a tale of me Told their story basked in their glory Didn't care if it Mattered to me They each gave me A brick for this wall A wall so tall I can't even see The top at all PRECHORUS I'd like to take the wall Full down Like to take the wall Full down CHORUS Could we take the wall Full down Could we make it come Crashing round Brick by brick This time Would you have the patience Could you even be so kind Could we take the walls Full down Could we make them come Crashing round The walls around my heart Make them fall apart Brick by brick This time VERSE And you can thank everyone Who got to close to me Everyone who fell for me But just wouldn't come through for me They each gave me A brick for this wall A wall so tight and close Can't see through it at all VERSE And you can thank everyone Who said I can take the walls down in one night Came at me like a nuclear bomb And them ran from the fallout in fright Then the walls come back more than before With thicker vines Blacker roses Sharper thorns PRECHORUS CHORUS BRIDGE VERSE And you can thank everyone Who tried to get to me Everyone who simply chose To try convict and punish me Then the walls come back More than before With thicker vines Blacker roses, sharper thorns CHORUS TO end
