Lyrics of
Brick By Boring Brick

Brick by Boring Brick by Paramore tells the story of a young girl who escapes into a fantasy world to avoid the problems and pains of reality. The song unfolds to reveal that living entirely in such a fantasy can be detrimental, encouraging facing reality and overcoming challenges.

She lives in a fairy tale Somewhere too far for us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell Of a world that she's left behind
It's all about the exposure the lens I told her
The angles are all wrong now She's ripping wings off of butterflies
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da

So one day he found her crying Coiled up on the dirty ground
Her prince finally came to save her And the rest you can figure out
But it was a trick And the clock struck 12
Well make sure to build your house brick by boring brick or the wolves gonna blow it down
Keep your feet on the ground
When your head's in the clouds

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle

well you built up a world of magic
Because your real life is tragic
Yeah you built up a world of magic
well If it's not real You can't hold it in your hands
You can't feel it with your heart
and I won't believe it
But if it's true then You can see it with your eyes
Even in the dark
And that's where I want to be, yeah

Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle
Well go get your shovel
And we'll dig a deep hole
To bury the castle,
bury the castle

Ba da ba ba da ba ba da Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da Ba da ba ba ba da ba ba
Ba da ba ba da ba ba da Ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
