lyrics

there was a place i knew that i could always run to
& behind these walls of stone i’d feel no fear
i'd watch the world just disappear
the place where no-one seemed to care

start to go insane
these walls are taking me away
flip a coin to show me what is real
i'm a living breathing atrophy
hello cold world around me

i’m tearing down these walls
i’m sick of locking doors
never been so afraid before
but i’m sick of locking doors
it’s time to let the monsters in
so I can look them in the eye
i’m tearing down these walls

staring at the pictures in the windows
the images i tried to hide behind
i was easy on your eyes
but always dead inside

so as i close my eyes & let go of
my perfect little world
feel the fear that turns my heart to stone
i can’t do this on my own
can’t do this on my own

can’t do this on my own
can’t do this on my own
if you heard this song would you sing along?
can’t do this on my own
can’t do this on my own
i am on my knees
will you come & rescue me
i’m tearing down these walls
