Dark Lotus - The Walls lyrics
[Dark Lotus - The Walls lyrics]
I sit up at night, it's at least 3 or 4
Blood drippin out my knuckles
From knocking skin on drywall
I see a face like flashlights under chins
The more I blink the more it happens again
Damn victims, from like '89
Floating their faces on the wall
Like it's the last time
I'm gonna see them again
The same time every night
The wall gets bigger with
Every passin' daylight
Are they closing in on me?
Walls confining me, inside of me
There's an emptiness that won't go away
Yeah, I never said that I was
Right inside of my mind
But I'm sure over time I'll
Learn to climb the walls
I'm sure that over time I'll learn
To right all of my wrongs sure it's right
Four walls reflecting my life
Every night that I sit and watch the replay
Surrounding me (surrounding me)
These walls ain't holding me back
(holding me back)
They can't tell me where we at
(me where we at)
I'm uncontainable (uncontainable)
Surrounding me (surrounding me)
These walls ain't holding me back
(holding me back)
They can't tell me where we at
(me where we at)
I remain in control (in control)
Tell 'em i can feel them looking at me
I can even hear them talking
When I'm tryin to sleep
Sometimes they start spinnin or
Just closing in
And it's just too much to beat, I can't win
Don't grin, it ain't funny
I just set it ablaze i had to burn a whole
House to escape that maze
I was burned from my neck to my feet
But it was worth it, until I went back
I didn't even hurt it
One wall surrounds me, no roof, no floor
I started falling as soon as
I stepped through the door plain walls
Don't let me see a crack in the paint
Where I'm focusing in and focused I ain't
Clang bang, I bloody the walls
I leave stains so the next man falling at
Least can see things
I think of my life, reliving every memory
Staring into the walls of my epitome, falling
Nothing but walls, but it's all right
My back to the room in the corner all night
(Even in the darkness)
Nothing but walls, but it's all right
My back to the room in the corner all night
(These walls keep watching me)
I always catch myself staring into a dark day
Same place, new age holes punched with rage
If they could talk
They probably wouldn't say much
Because I always keep myself
Locked away and such
Just a sheltered life being wasted away
Like four walls on a casket
Being put in a grave
So many hours spent looking at nothing
But I keep on glaring
Steadily hoping for something
I stare into space through my cell gate
For 80 years I've been known as inmate 14278
Walls can't confine me
On the noose every week
And when the guards take me
For my shock treatment
I be leaving out the space in my head
To control the minds and unearth the undead
The problem is
(what?) , I'm only out for two days
And I return to my coma and
These walls and bars around me
Surrounding me
These walls ain't holding me back
They can't tell me where we at
(Even in the darkness) i'm uncontainable
(These walls keep watching me)
Surrounding me
These walls ain't holding me back
They can't tell me where we at
(Even in the darkness) i'm uncontainable
(These walls keep watching me)
Surrounding me
These walls ain't holding me back
They can't tell me where we at
I remain in control
(Nothin but walls, but it's all right
My back to the room in the corner all night)
Surrounding me
These walls ain't holding me back
They can't tell me where we at
I remain in control
(These walls keep watching me)
Surrounding me holding me back
Holding me back in control
Surrounding me (surrounding me)
These walls ain't holding me back
(holding me back)
They can't tell me where we at
(me where we at)
I'm uncontainable (uncontainable)
Surrounding me (surrounding me)
These walls ain't holding me back
(holding me back)
They can't tell me where we at
(me where we at)
I remain in control (in control)
