The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss   Of hope to get across   You build your castle within these walls   With bars instead of doors      Looking back on the years   On all the friends that I’ve lost to drugs   But I won’t preach nor insist   That I’m better than the one’s I’ve lost   It must be hard to resist   When you can escape the pain and strife   Not to dive in to the mist   And forget about the pain for a while      The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss      And I wake up with a grin   To find my soul overthrown by a djinn   Although you left me for him   I miss the touch and the scent of your skin   I lost the love of my life   To some guy, don’t even know his name   He want’s to make her his wife   If I kill him I will lose all the same      You build your castle within these walls   The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss      But what I miss most of all   Is this old geezer friend of mine   His business started to fall   And eventually he lost his mind   He disconnected the phone   To get rid of all disturbing sounds   And cut his wrist to the bone   And made sure that he would not be found      The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss   You build your castle within these walls   The bigger the mountain the bigger the loss   You build your castle within these walls
