Sometimes the four walls really close in on you
Sometimes it all comes crashing down
Sometimes your direction is no longer true
Sometimes you’ve lost all that you’ve found
Sometimes your uncertainties loom over you
Sometimes you are crushed to the ground
Sometimes you will doubt all the things that you knew
Sometimes all your thoughts are unsound
Sometimes all your thoughts are unsound
Cracked up
and shaking
Shut out
and coming undone
Blocked in
and breaking
Fell through
A hole in the sun
Nobody can see what you most want to show
Nobody can miss what you hide
There’s no one to help when you stagger from blows
Nobody to stand by your side
Nobody recalls anything that you say
Nobody remembers your face
There’s no one to hold at the end of the day
Nobody to fill in the space
Nobody to fill in the space
Cracked up
and shaking
Shut out
and coming undone
Blocked in
and breaking
Fell through
A hole in the sun
So now the four walls really close in on you
and now it all comes crashing down
The things you believed in were clearly untrue
Rise up to the beat and the sound
Rise up to the beat and the sound
