These Walls

Grey Eye Glances

You try to catch my eye



You look for secrets so surprised

You tell me I've been acting quiet

But I'm o.k.

I've really always been this way

It's very dark inside

Darkness keeps me with the light

 

In these walls I built for you

Hidden locks I can't undo

In these walls I built for you

 

It's not to do with you

It's not the things you say or do

It's not an answer or a clue

It's not that hard

The truth has left your vision scarred

There's so much space in here

Silence, covered up by tears

 

In these walls I built for you

Hidden locks I can't undo

In these walls I built for you

There's a point you might get through

In these walls I built for you

 

In the midst of it all

Of what little is left

Falling, falling, fall away

Levels form upon words

Growing stronger with time

Say it, say it, say anything

And all the while I built it here

 

I told you long ago

I told you how one never knows

I told you that's just how it goes

Were you inspired

From where I stand you look quite tired

But are you hiding, too

Careful, I just saw you move.

 

In these walls I built for you

Hidden locks I can't undo

In these walls I built for you

There's a point you might get through

In these walls I built for you
