  • I hit a wall, I never felt so low, so low
    Like a waterfall, my tears dropped to the floor, the floor
    They left a swimming pool of salted crimes, crimes
    Oh, what could I do to change your mind?
    Nothing

    I'm bracing for the pain and I am letting go
    I'm using all my strength to get out of this hole

    I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
    Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
    And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
    But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer

    Yeah I hit a wall, I prayed that I would make it through, make it through
    I can't survive a life that's without you, that's without you, yeah
    And I will rise up from the ashes now, the ashes now
    Oh, the sparrow flies with just the crumbs of loving spilled, yeah

    I was bracing for the pain and then I let it go
    I gathered all my strength and I found myself whole

    I hit a wall, I thought that I would hurt myself
    Oh I was sure, your words would leave me unconscious
    And on the floor I'd be lying cold, lifeless
    But I hit a wall, I hit 'em all, watch the fall
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer
    You're just another brick and I'm a sledgehammer Writer/s: JESSE SHATKIN, SIA FURLER
