Walls

Walls

Are you listening

We write a thousand pages they're torn and on the floor

Headlights hammer the windows we're locked behind these doors

And we are never leaving this place is part of us

And all these scenes repeating are cold to the touch

My hands seem to deceive me

When I'm nervous or when I'm healthy

The scenery's all drawn

They hang here from the walls dear

Painting pictures bleeding colors

Blanket the windows

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe

Your eyes can see right through me

These fights with your arms left beside

It's one thing and one more says goodnight

You've got the map come get to me

These knuckles break before they bleed

Tear out these veins that own my heart

This skin that wears your lasting marks

I've built these walls come get to me come get to me

Is this your lesson a slight discretion

The lines that keep you the lines that sweep you

Lock the doors from the inside

Your face is so contagious it wears announcements

It leaves me breathless I won't forget this

I won't forget

Sometimes it gets so hard to breathe

Your eyes can see right through me

Let the walls have their say

Let the walls have their say

There's no conversation words without remorse

And this television drowns the only source

Wake from these dreams of you in my arms

Go to the staircase where you hold my heart

This place these walls mean everything to me
