Walls Lyrics

The walls of the theater are higher than me

They're higher than you'll ever be

The walls of my house touch the top of my head

The ceiling is bending in

I sit in an armchair I hold my knees together

Where did you run away to

I remember bloodshot eyes

You talked about open skies

Your old soul has faded into new

But you're still in the walls

In the walls

In the walls

I can feel you trying to crawl

Trying to crawl out

You used to be a screamer and a dreamer

Now you're nothing at all

But you're still in the walls

In the walls

In the walls

The walls of your buildings are larger than life

They're nothing like I've ever seen

I thought if I look closely I might see you

Floating above in the wind

But there's lines around your mouth

And lines in your head

Shaped like a picket fence

Are you everything you thought you would ever be

See I think you've forgotten

But you're still in the walls

In the walls

In the walls

I can feel you trying to crawl

Trying to crawl out

You used to be a screamer and a dreamer

Now you're nothing at all

But you're still in the walls

In the walls

In the walls

The sun setting and rising

Your mother didn't come home last night

The big orange field

The boy in the back

The endless open light

Are you just a warning of what is after the storm comes down

Well I too

Well I do become warning to the ground

(Will I be warning to the ground)

Will I be in the walls

In the walls

In the walls

Trying to crawl

Trying to crawl out

Someone who was a screamer and a dreamer

And now nothing at all

But still in the walls

In the walls

In the walls
